Here are the solutions to the calculus questions:
1. Evaluate the following limits:
b) limx→0tan5xsin3x
Step 1: Direct substitution yields tan(0)sin(0)=00, an indeterminate form.
Step 2: Apply L'Hôpital's Rule by differentiating the numerator and denominator.
The derivative of sin3x is 3cos3x.
The derivative of tan5x is 5sec25x.
limx→05sec25x3cos3x
Step 3: Substitute x=0 into the new expression.
5sec2(0)3cos(0)=5⋅123⋅1=53
The limit is 53.
c) limr→∞r3+5r2+13r3−2r
Step 1: Divide every term in the numerator and denominator by the highest power of r in the denominator, which is r3.
limr→∞r3r3+r35r2+r31r33r3−r32r
Step 2: Simplify the expression.
limr→∞1+r5+r313−r22
Step 3: Apply the limit. As r→∞, terms of the form rnc approach 0.
1+0+03−0=13=3
The limit is 3.
2. Differentiate from first principles:
a) y=x2+3x
Step 1: Write the definition of the derivative from first principles.
dxdy=limh→0hf(x+h)−f(x)
Step 2: Substitute f(x)=x2+3x and f(x+h)=(x+h)2+3(x+h).
f(x+h)−f(x)=[(x+h)2+3(x+h)]−[x2+3x]
=[x2+2xh+h2+3x+3h]−[x2+3x]
=2xh+h2+3h
Step 3: Substitute this into the limit and simplify.
dxdy=limh→0h2xh+h2+3h=limh→0hh(2x+h+3)=limh→0(2x+h+3)
Step 4: Apply the limit as h→0.
dxdy=2x+0+3=2x+3
The derivative is 2x+3.
b) y=cosx
Step 1: Write the definition of the derivative from first principles.
dxdy=limh→0hf(x+h)−f(x)
Step 2: Substitute f(x)=cosx and f(x+h)=cos(x+h).
f(x+h)−f(x)=cos(x+h)−cosx
Step 3: Use the trigonometric identity cosA−cosB=−2sin(2A+B)sin(2A−B).
cos(x+h)−cosx=−2sin(22x+h)sin(2h)=−2sin(x+2h)sin(2h)
Step 4: Substitute into the limit and rearrange.
dxdy=limh→0h−2sin(x+2h)sin(2h)=limh→0[−sin(x+2h)⋅2hsin(2h)]
Step 5: Apply the limit, using limθ→0θsinθ=1.
dxdy=−sin(x+0)⋅1=−sinx
The derivative is −sinx.
3. Find dy/dx:
a) y=(x2+1)5
Step 1: Use the chain rule. Let u=x2+1, so y=u5.
Step 2: Differentiate y with respect to u and u with respect to x.
dudy=5u4
dxdu=2x
Step 3: Apply the chain rule dxdy=dudy⋅dxdu.
dxdy=5u4⋅2x=5(x2+1)4⋅2x=10x(x2+1)4
The derivative is 10x(x2+1)4.
b) y=x3e−2x
Step 1: Use the product rule: dxd(uv)=u′v+uv′. Let u=x3 and v=e−2x.
Step 2: Find the derivatives of u and v.
u′=3x2
v′=−2e−2x
Step 3: Apply the product rule.
dxdy=(3x2)(e−2x)+(x3)(−2e−2x)
dxdy=3x2e−2x−2x3e−2x
Step 4: Factor out common terms.
dxdy=x2e−2x(3−2x)
The derivative is x2e−2x(3−2x).
c) y=ln(cosx)
Step 1: Use the chain rule. Let u=cosx, so y=lnu.
Step 2: Differentiate y with respect to u and u with respect to x.
dudy=u1
dxdu=−sinx
Step 3: Apply the chain rule dxdy=dudy⋅dxdu.
dxdy=cosx1⋅(−sinx)=−cosxsinx=−tanx
The derivative is −tanx.
d) y=arctan(2x)
Step 1: Use the chain rule. The derivative of arctanu is 1+u21dxdu. Let u=2x.
Step 2: Find the derivative of u with respect to x.
dxdu=2
Step 3: Apply the chain rule.
dxdy=1+(2x)21⋅2=1+4x22
The derivative is 1+4x22.
e) x2y+y3=5 (implicit)
Step 1: Differentiate both sides of the equation with respect to x. Remember to use the product rule for x2y and the chain rule for y3.
dxd(x2y)+dxd(y3)=dxd(5)
Step 2: Apply differentiation rules.
(2x)y+x2dxdy+3y2dxdy=0
Step 3: Group terms containing dxdy and solve for dxdy.
(x2+3y2)dxdy=−2xy
dxdy=x2+3y2−2xy
The derivative is x2+3y2−2xy.
f) x=etcost, y=etsint (parametric)
Step 1: Use the formula for parametric differentiation: dxdy=dx/dtdy/dt.
Step 2: Find dtdx using the product rule.
dtdx=dtd(etcost)=etcost+et(−sint)=et(cost−sint)
Step 3: Find dtdy using the product rule.
dtdy=dtd(etsint)=etsint+etcost=et(sint+cost)
Step 4: Substitute into the formula for dxdy.
dxdy=et(cost−sint)et(sint+cost)
Step 5: Simplify by canceling et.
dxdy=cost−sintsint+cost
The derivative is cost−sintsint+cost.
4. Find and classify all stationary points of y=2r3−9r2+12r−3.
Step 1: Find the first derivative, drdy.
drdy=6r2−18r+12
Step 2: Set the first derivative to zero to find critical points.
6r2−18r+12=0
Divide by 6:
r2−3r+2=0
Factor the quadratic equation:
(r−1)(r−2)=0
The critical points are r=1 and r=2.
Step 3: Find the corresponding y values for these critical points.
For r=1: y=2(1)3−9(1)2+12(1)−3=2−9+12−3=2. Point: (1,2).
For r=2: y=2(2)3−9(2)2+12(2)−3=16−36+24−3=1. Point: (2,1).
Step 4: Find the second derivative, dr2d2y, to classify the stationary points.
dr2d2y=12r−18
Step 5: Evaluate the second derivative at each critical point.
For r=1: dr2d2y=12(1)−18=−6. Since −6<0, (1,2) is a local maximum.
For r=2: dr2d2y=12(2)−18=6. Since 6>0, (2,1) is a local minimum.
The stationary points are:
- (1,2), which is a local maximum.
- (2,1), which is a local minimum.
5. A rectangular box with no lid has a square base of side x and height h. Given that the total surface area is 75cm2, find the dimensions for maximum volume.
Step 1: Write expressions for the volume (V) and surface area (A).
Volume: V=x2h
Surface Area (base + 4 sides): A=x2+4xh
Step 2: Use the given surface area (A=75cm2) to express h in terms of x.
75=x2+4xh⟹4xh=75−x2⟹h=4x75−x2
Step 3: Substitute h into the volume equation to get V(x).
V(x)=x2(4x75−x2)=4x(75−x2)=475x−x3=475x−41x3
Step 4: Find the first derivative of V(x) and set it to zero to find critical points.
dxdV=475−43x2
475−43x2=0⟹75−3x2=0⟹3x2=75⟹x2=25
Since x must be positive, x=5 cm.
Step 5: Find the corresponding height h.
h=4(5)75−(5)2=2075−25=2050=2.5cm
Step 6: Use the second derivative test to confirm it's a maximum.
dx2d2V=−46x=−23x
At x=5: dx2d2V=−23(5)=−215. Since this is negative, it's a maximum.
The dimensions for maximum volume are x=5 cm and h=2.5 cm.
6. Water leaks from a conical tank (vertex down) at 3m3/min. The tank has radius 2 m and height 5 m. Find the rate at which the water level falls when the depth is 3 m.
Step 1: Identify given information and what to find.
Given: dtdV=−3m3/min (negative because water is leaking).
Tank dimensions: R=2 m, H=5 m.
Find: dtdh when h=3 m.
Step 2: Write the volume of a cone: V=31πr2h.
Step 3: Use similar triangles to relate r and h for the water in the cone.
hr=HR=52⟹r=52h
Step 4: Substitute r into the volume formula to express V in terms of h.
V=31π(52h)2h=31π(254h2)h=754πh3
Step 5: Differentiate V with respect to time t.
dtdV=754π⋅3h2dtdh=254πh2dtdh
Step 6: Substitute the known values (dtdV=−3, h=3) and solve for dtdh.
−3=254π(3)2dtdh
