  1. given the displacement (s) =8t-t^2
    v = d/t
    we are given s and v
    v = 4
    we can differentiate the equation s = 8t-t^2
    ds/dt= 8 -2t
    since ds/dt = velocity = 4
    we can solve for the time
    4 = 8 -2t
    t = -4/-2
    t = 2

  2. for question #2
    s is given by s= 20t -2t^2
    ds/dt = 20 -4t
    since ds/dt= velocity and the velocity of the train after applying brakes = 0 then
    0=20-4t
    therefore t= -20/-4
    t=5
    the time the train takes to come to a stop after the brakes are applied is 5.
    therefore the distance it travels can now be found by simply substituting t=5 into the equation which represents The displacement traveled by a subway train after the brakes are applied is s= 20t -2t^2
    therefore
    s=(20*5) -2(5^2)
    s=100 - 50
    s=50

  3. s = 8t -t^2

    ds/dt = 8t - 2t

    The value of the pistion is 4 when t is

    4 = 8t - 2t
    making t the subject

    t = 8/ -4 / -2t
    t = -4 / -2t
    t = 2

  6. (s) =8t-t^2
    velocity is ds/dt, the change of distance with respect to time.

    ds/dt = 8 - 2t when ds/dt = 4

    4 = 8 - 2t
    4 - 8 = - 2t
    -4 = - 2t
    t = 2

  7. y = 7sin x + ln (4x^2 +1)

    sub m = (4x^2 +1)

    dm/dx = 8x

    y = ln m
    dy/dm = 1/m

    dy/dx = dy/dm x dm/dx
    = 1/m x 8x
    = (1/4x^2 +1)x 8x
    = 8x/4x^2 +1

    therefore dy/dx = 7cos x + (8x/4x^2 +1)

  8. q.2
    displacement s = 8t-t^2
    v=d/t
    given that v=4
    s=8t-t^2
    therefore...
    ds/dt=8-2t
    t=-4/-2
    t=2

  9. Q9 ;

    velocity is the change in distance by the change in time
    altitude is the distance
    so velocity = dy/dt

    but there is notted terms so we
    remove the brackets to get y=240-240e^(-.05t)

    but we have -.05t complicated
    we let u= -.05t

    then du/dt = -.05

    we rewrite the original equation to get
    y=240-240e^u

    we know dy/dx e^x = e^x
    so dy/du = -240e^u

    then dy/dt = dy/du * du/dt
    -240e^(-.05t)*-.05

  10. there are some errors to question 4 by low rider

    yes we bring downstairs to upstairs
    but there is now a police in the new equation

    E=Kr^-2

    now if u use y=ax^n ; dy/dx = (a*n)x^n-1

    so multiply k by -2 gives -2K
    so the final answer should be
    dE/dr not E
    so dE/dr = -2Kr^-3

  11. Q3.
    Ignore the background. look at the equation given and differientiate because the ques is asking for the rate at which...

    V = 50(60-t)^2
    let m = 60-t dm/dt = -1

    rewrite:
    V = 50m^2 dV/dm = 100m

    The ques asked for dV/dt:

    dV/dt = dm/dt x dV/dm

    dV/dt = (-1) x 100(60-t)

    When t = 4
    dV/dt = (-1) x 100(60-4) = -100 x 56 = -5600

    Can someone confirm if im correct??

  12. Question 1

    s = 8t-t^2
    v = d/t
    v = 4
    differentiate the equation s = 8t-t^2
    ds/dt= 8 -2t
    since ds/dt = v = 4
    then t can be found
    4 = 8 -2t
    t = -4/-2
    t = 2

    ReplyDelete
  13. Question 2

    s = 20t -2t^2
    ds/dt = 20 -4t
    since ds/dt = v = 0
    then t can be found

    0 = 20-4t
    t = -20/-4
    t = 5
    The time the train takes to come to a stop after the brakes are applied is 5.

    Simply substitut t=5 into the equation which represents the displacement traveled which is s = 20t -2t^2 to find the distance travelled

    Thus
    s = (20)(5) - 2(5^2)
    s = 100 - 50
    s = 50

  15. Question 4

  16. Question 6:

    h = 550t + 4.9t^2
    dh/dt = 550 + 9.8t

    since h is the altitude of the rock, the maximum altitude the rock reaches will be:

    0 = 550 + 9.8t
    9.8t = 550
    t = 550/9.8

    =56.12


    Ans = 56.12

  18. Question 10

    y = 7 sin x + ln (4x^2 +1 )

    It looks a lil confusing so,
    let s = (4x^2 +1 )

    therefore
    ds/dx = 8x

    y = ln s
    dy/ds = 1/s

    thus we multiple the both new terms to find dy/dx which will give:
    dy/dx = dy/ds x ds/dx
    = 1/s x 8x
    = (1/4x^2 + 1)x 8x
    = 8x/4x^2 + 1

    therefore the final answer for dy/dx
    = 7 cos x + (8x/4x^2 + 1)

  19. Can someone help me out with questions 5, 7, 8, and 9 plez. I tried them all but keep getting stock.. But question 7 i dont even know how to start..

    I really need the help....

    ReplyDelete
  20. for question 7
    we first ignore the background and look for a equation
    which we see is y=1.85sin∏t
    this from the question is said to be the displacement
    now they want the velocity
    and we know velocity is displacement divided by time
    so dy/dt
    but we only know dy/dx of sin x = cosx

    but we have ∏t complicated
    so we let m=∏t
    dm/dt = ∏

    rewrite y= 1.85sin(m)
    dy/dm = 1.85cos(m)

    but we want dy/dt
    so dy/dt = dm/dt * dy/dm
    = (∏)*(1.85cos(m))
    we replace ∏t for m we get
    1.85∏cos∏t
    we then replace 0.025 for t to get the final ans

  21. question 5

    for the first equation they give us

    they say V = L(d^2q/dt^2)
    if you look further

    we get a second equation q = (2t+1)^.5 - 1

    now if we find dg/dt
    the d^2q/dt^2 in the first equation just mean
    we diff a second time

  24. read some comments here an this is how i would work the first question:
    s= 8t-t^2
    therefore
    ds/dt= 8-2t
    solving for the time:
    4=8-2t
    4-8=-2t
    -4=-2t
    therefore
    2=t

  25. read some more posts after attempting question 2 got it out after:
    the velocity after the applied brakes is 0
    then find for t, then sub the value for t into the original eq'n

    ReplyDelete
  26. 2nd question goes like this:
    s=20t-2t^2
    therefore
    ds/dt=20-4t
    velocity after brakes is applied =0
    therefore
    0=20-4t
    20/4=t
    therefore
    5=t
    now that t was found
    sub t=5 into the original eq'n
    s=(20*5)-2(5^2)
    s=100-50
    s=50

    dv/dt=12t-5

  34. question 10
    y= 7sin x +ln (4x^2+1)
    first let m=4x^2+1 so that there are no brackets and no square terms
    then take the each one of the terms m, sin and ln and differentiate

    differentiate sin
    y=7 sin x
    dy/dx=-7 cos x
    differentiate ln
    y= ln m

  55. ques 5.
    ok well you have to diff. q = (2t + 1)^.5 -1 twice.

    substitute
    m = 2t+1
    dm/dt = 2t

    then rewrite q= m^.5 -1
    work out the numbers.Therefore:
    q = m^-0.5
    dq/dm = -0.5m^-1.5

    then :
    dq/dt = dm/dt X dq/dm
    dq/dt = 2t(-0.52t+1)^-1.5

    NOTE: dont forget to replace the substitution made.

    Ok... I can't seem to diff this thin thin a second time. Can someone plz help me.

  56. hey computation you didn't finish #6.
    you were goin correct, so im just goin to continue from where you left off.

    you found t=56.122

    the question asked for the altitude h. So to finish the question you have to substitute t=50.122 into the given equation because that is the equation to give you the altitude.

    substituting t=56.122 into :

    h = 550t - 4.9 t^2
    h = 550(56.122) - 4.9(56.122)^2
    h = 30867.1 - 15433.4 = 15433.6 => ans
