4. (1 point) √
A particle is moving along the curve y = 2 5x + 5. As the
particle passes through the point (4, 10), its x-coordinate in-
creases at a rate of 4 units per second. Find the rate of change
of the distance from the particle to the origin at that instant.
5. (1 point)
The radius of a spherical balloon is increasing at a rate of 3
centimeters per minute. How fast is the volume changing, in cu-
bic centimeters per minute, when the radius is 14 centimeters?
Note: The volume of a sphere is given by V = (4/3)πr3 .
Rate of change of volume, in cubic centimeters per minute,
= the relationship between the height of the water and the volume
8. (1 point) Water is leaking out of an inverted conical tank
at a rate of 8000.0 cubic centimeters per min at the same time
that water is being pumped into the tank at a constant rate. The
tank has height 13.0 meters and the diameter at the top is 6.0
meters. If the water level is rising at a rate of 21.0 centimeters
per minute when the height of the water is 3.5 meters, find the
rate at which water is being pumped into the tank in cubic cen-
timeters per minute.
Note: Let ”R” be the unknown rate at which water is being
pumped in. Then you know that if V is volume of water,
dV
dt = R − 8000.0. Use geometry (similar triangles?) to find
of the water at any given time. Recall that the volume of a cone
with base radius r and height h is given by 13 πr2 h.
