Working with Position, Velocity, and Acceleration

Let s(t) be the position of the object.

sI = v(t) 1st derivative is velocity

sII = vI(t) 2nd derivative is acceleration

Problem:

Let s(t) = t3 – 12t2 + 45t be the position of a particle in meters after t seconds.

1. What is the velocity at t = 0?

s(t) = t3 – 12t2 + 45t
sI(t) = v(t) = 3t2 – 24t + 45  velocity
v(0) = 3(0)2 – 24(0) + 45
= 0 – 0 + 45
v(0) = 45 m/s

2. What is the acceleration at t = 1?

sI(t) = v(t) = 3t2 – 24t + 45
sII(t) = vI(t) = a(t) = 6t – 24  acceleration
a(1) = 6(1) – 24
= 6 – 24
a(1) = -18 m/s2

3. What is the velocity when acceleration = 0?

a(t) = 6t – 24 v(t) = 3t2 – 24t + 45
0 = 6t – 24 = 3(4)2 – 24(4) + 45

The equation of a rectilinear movement is: d(t) = t³ − 27t. At what moment is the
velocity zero? Also, what is the acceleration at this moment?

Solution :

At what moment is the velocity zero?

→t³-27t = 0

→3t²=27

→3t²/3=27/3

→t²=9

→√t²=√9

→t=3

What is the acceleration at this moment?

Acceleration = 2nd derivative

→ 3t²-27

→ 6t

→ t=3

→ 6(3)

→ 18

A rectangular package must have a maximum combined length and girth (the perimeter
around the rectangle; this happens to be a square) of 144 inches. Find the dimensions of
the box that yields the maximum volume.

 Let x be the sides of the square end of the box, and y be the length of the box.
 Since we know the combined length (y) and girth (4x) can be 144, and we are
wanting a maximum volume, we can assume that we’ll use 144.
 Then, get the x in terms of y:
 4𝑥 + 𝑦 = 144
 𝑦 = 144 − 4𝑥
 To get the maximum volume, we have to take the derivatives of the volume of the
box and set to 0:
 𝑉 = 𝑙𝑤ℎ
 𝑉 = 𝑥 ∙ 𝑥 ∙ 𝑦  𝑉 = 𝑥 2 ∙ (144 − 4𝑥)  𝑉 = 144𝑥 2 − 4𝑥 3
 𝑉 ′ = 288𝑥 − 12𝑥 2
 12𝑥 2 = 288𝑥  𝑥 = ±24 (use positive)
 𝑦 = 144 − 4(24) ≈ 48
 So to get the maximum area, the box should be 24 inches by 24 inches by 48
inches.

In marketing a certain item, a business has found that the demand for the item is
represented by the function: p= 55/√x. The cost of producing x items is given by the
function: . Find the price per unit that gives the maximum profit.
In able to find the price, we need to use this equation:
P= R (x) – C (x)
Since we have the value of C (x), we just need to find the value of R (x). In able to find
that, we need to multiply the fixed price (which is the demand function) to the number
of items (which is x).
R (x) = (55/√x) (x)
= 55√x

After we find the value of R (x), we can now substitute it to the given formula.
P = (55√x) – (0.4x + 700)
= 55√x – 0.4x – 700

Then, we need to find the derivatives.

P’ = 55/2√x of x – 0.4
Then, equate it to 0.
0 = 55/2√x – 0.4
0.4 = 55/2√x
√x = 55/0.8
√x = 68.75

NOTE: We don’t need to find the value of x since we’re finding the price per unit. We
can directly substitute it to the given fixed price.
p = 55/68.75
= 0.80
So the price per unit is $0.80.

A rectangular page with 25 square inches of print has margins of 1 inch on each side.
Find the

dimensions of the page so that the least amount of paper is used.

X
X+2
Y

Y+2 25 sq in

Solution:

Let’s make x = the width of the print and y = the height of the print. Since there’s a 1
inch margin on
each side, it follows that x + 2 is the width of the piece of paper, and y + 2 is the height of
the paper. We
can relate the two variables, x and y, by using the are of the print:
xy = 25 ; y = 25/x .
Since we want minimum area, we have to take the derivatives of the area of the whole
piece of
paper and set to 0:
A = width x height; A = (x + 2)(y + 2); A = (x + 2) (25/x + 2) = 50x^-1 + 2x + 29
dA/dx = -50x^-2 + 2 y = 25/5

So to get the minimum area, the width of print should be 5 inches, and the height should
be 5 inches.
This means the width and height of the paper should each be 7 inches.

Solving Optimization Problems using Derivatives

It is estimated that the cost of constructing an office building that is x floors high is
given by C(x)= 2x ²-48x+600. How many floors should the building have in order to
minimize cost?

Find: minimize C(x)= 2x ²-48x+600 (x= number of floors)

Constraints: x≥0

1st Derivative: C’(x)= 4x-48=0

4x=48 - +

X=12 12

min

Min of C(12)= Doesn’t need to solve because the problem only asking for the number of
floors(x).

Therefore, the building should have 12 floors to minimize cost.

Find two positive numbers such that the sum of the first and twice the second is 100 and

their product is a maximum.

x- 1st number 1st equation ; 2nd equation

y- 2nd number x+2y= 100 (x)(y)= maximized

x= 100-2y

f(x) = (x)(y) 100-4y = 0 x = 100-2y

= (100-2y)(y) 100 = 4y x = 100-2(25)

f(x) = 100y-2y² 25 = y x= 100-50

f'(x) = 100-4y x = 50

The position of an object at any time t is given by s(t)= 3t^4 - 40t^3 + 126t^2-9.

a. Determine the velocity of the object at any time t

S'(t)= 12t^3 - 120t^2 + 252t

b. Does the object ever stop changing?

12t(t^2 - 10t + 21) = 0

12t (t-3) (t-7) =0

12t=0 t-3=0 t-7=0

t=0 t= 3 t=7
