Worksheet 5 – Rate of Change
2010
Objective:
To use derivative in solving rate of change problems.
1.The area of a sector in a circle is given by the formula
θ
2
21
r A
=
where
r
isthe radius and is the central angle measured in radians.a.Find the rate of change of
A
with respect to if
r
remains constant. b.Find the rate of change of
A
with respect to
r
if remains constant.c.Find the rate of change of with respect to
r
if
A
remains constant.2.As air is pumped into a spherical balloon, the radius increases at the constantrate of 2 centimeters per second. What is the rate of change of the balloon’svolume when the radius is 10 centimeters? (The volume
V
of a sphere of radius
r
is

x
and altitude
h
has area
A
given by
2

x A
=
where
h x

=
. Find the rate of change of
A
with respect to
h
and determine this rate of change when
