A particle moves on the line y = 2x + 1 in such a way that its x−coordinate changes at a constant rate of 4 units per second. A right triangle is formed by the vertical line from the particle to the x−axis, the line connecting the particle to the origin, and the x−axis. At what rate is the area of the right triangle changing when x = 4?

A ladder 5 meters long is leaning against a vertical wall. Due to the smooth floor, the foot of the ladder is sliding away from the wall. Let x be the horizontal distance of the foot of the ladder from the wall and y be the height of the top of the ladder from the floor. Determine when will the rate of change of y with respect to x be numerically equal to the negative of the current value of x?

There is a tank in the shape of a paraboloid: Water is being pumped into the tank at a constant rate of 2π cubic inches per minute. If y denotes the water level, then the volume of water is given by V = πy2 / 2. (a) Suppose that the height of the paraboloid is 10 inches. Let a denote the rate of change of water level when y = 1 inch and let b denote the rate of change of water level when y = 5 inches. Without computing anything, do you suspect that a or b is greater? (b) Confirm your suspicion by explicitly computing a and b
