MATH6100 – CALCULUS 1

COURSE PROJECT

INSTRUCTION: Create a video presentation and discuss the step-by-step procedure on how to
solve the problems below.

1. A missile fired ground level rises x 4. The sum of two positive numbers is 30.

meters vertically upwards in t seconds One of the numbers is multiplied by the

and x = 50t – 6.25t2. Find square of the other. If each number is

greater than 0, find the numbers that
(i) the initial velocity of the missile,
make this product a maximum.
(ii) the time when the height of the
missile is a maximum
(iii) the maximum height reached and
5. A wooden block is made as shown in
(iv) the velocity with which the missile

strikes the ground
triangles having sides 3x, 4x and 5x. The
length of the block is y. The total surface

2. A particle of unit mass moves so that area of the block is 7,200 cm2. Find the

displacement after t seconds is given by length of each side.

x = 2 cos (t - 2). Find the acceleration

and kinetic energy at the end of 3
seconds. (K.E = (1/2) m v²)

3. The fuel used by a car is defined

by f(x)=3x2/80−6x+245, where x is the
travelling speed in km/h.

What is the most economical speed of

the car? In other words, determine the Criteria for Grading;
speed of the car which uses the least Presentations (40%)

amount of fuel. Show mastery of the content
