1. The diameter and height of a paper cup in the shape of a cone are both 4
inches, and water is leaking out at the rate of ½ cubic inch per second. Find the
rate at which the water level is dropping when the diameter of the surface is 2
inches.
2. If one leg AB of a right triangle increases at the rate of 2 inches per second,
while the other leg AC decreases at 3 inches per second, find how fast the

3. You are blowing a bubble with bubble gum and can blow air into the bubble at
the rate of 3 cubic inches per second.
(a) At what rate is the volume V increasing with respect to the radius when the
radius r is 1 inch? When the radius is 3 inches?
(b) How fast is the radius increasing with respect to time when r = 3 inches?
(c) Suppose you increase your effort when r = 3 inches and begin to blow in air at
a rate of 4 cubic inches per second. How fast is the radius increasing now?
