Demand The demand function for a product is given by p = 4000/ln (x + 10), where p is the price per unit in dollars when x units are demanded.
(a) Find the rate of change of price with respect to the number of units sold when 40 units are sold.
(b) Find the rate of change of price with respect to the number of units sold when 90 units are sold.
(c) Find the second derivative to see whether the rate at which the price is changing at 40 units is increasing or decreasing.

- Can the average rate of change of a function be constant?arrow_forwardThe kinetic energy E of an object varies jointly with the object’s mass m and the square of the object’s velocity v . An object with a mass of 50 kilograms traveling at 16 meters per second has a kinetic energy of 6400 joules. What is the kinetic energy of an object with a mass of 70 kilograms traveling at 20 meters per second?arrow_forwardA driver of a car stopped at a gas station to fill up his gas tank. He looked at his watch, and the time read exactly 3:40 p.m. At this time, he started pumping gas into the tank. At exactly 3:44, the tank was full and he noticed that he had pumped 10.7 gallons. What is the average rate of flow of the gasoline into the gas tank?arrow_forward

- A dam is being emptied. The amount of water remaining in the dam after t days is V = 81 (26 4t) 4 litres where € [0,7). (1) How many litres of water were in the dam when t = 0? (2) When is the amount of water in the dam 1296 litres? (3) What is the rate of change of V with respect to time t? (a) Evaluate this function when t - (b) Evaluate this function when t is your answer for Q2. (c) Compare your answers for Q3(a) and Q3(b). At which of these two times was the tank emptying at a greater rate? Explain why. : 0arrow_forwardHow do you find the fifth derivative of a function?arrow_forward9. As shown in the figure to the right, water is draining from the conical tank with height 12 feet and diameter 8 feet into a cylindrical tank that has a base with area 400n square feet. The depth h, in feet, of the water in the conical tank is changing at the rate of (h- 12) feet per 8 feet minute. 12 feet (a) Write an expression for the volume of water in the conical tank as a function of h. (b) At what rate is the volume of water in the conical tank changing when h = 3? Indicate units of measure. (c) Let y be the depth, in feet, of the water in the cylindrical tank. At what rate is y changing when h = 3? Indicate units of measure.arrow_forward
