DERIVATIVE AS A RATE MEASURE
DERIVATIVE AS A RATE MEASURE

y
The ratio is average rate of change of
x

where x
& y
Now, if we apply the limit x 0
lim y dy
x =
0 x dx
dy
represents
dx x0
y
w.r.t. x, at x = x0
Q. The volume of a spherical balloon
is increasing at the rate of 40 cubic
centimetre per minute. The rate of
change of the surface of the balloon
at the instant when its radius is 8
centimetre, is

D
Q. A man 2m high, walks at a
uniform speed of 6m/min, away
from lamp post, 5m high. Find rate
at which length of its shadow
changes.

A 3m/min

B 4m/min

C 5m/min

D 6m/min
Q. An aeroplane is flying
horizontally at a height of kms
with a velocity 15 km/hr. Find rate at
which it is moving away from a
point on the ground it passed two
minutes ago.
ERRORS AND APPROXIMATIONS

Approximation is, knowing the value of a

function at one point and using it to decide
the value of the function at another point.

E.g. We know the value of f(2) And we

approximate the value of f(2.001)

of x, what will be the error in y ?

Results
y dy
x 0, then the quantity =
x dx
x is small, then y dy f(a + h) f(a)
x dx f a) =
h
dy
1) y × x
dx Smaller the magnitude of x , better is the
approximation

2) f(a + h) = f(a) + h.f a)

It is used to find f(a + h);
knowing f(a) and f a)
Q. Find approximate value of (1.999)6
Q. Find approximate value of (33) .

Q. Find approximate value of metal,
in a hollow spherical shell, whose
internal and external radii are 3 and
3.005cm.
