7. Related Rates

a) A car is moving toward a stoplight that is 6 meters tall. A radar gun atop the signal
observes the car. The speed limit along this stretch of road is 40 miles per hour (17.9
meters per second). If the distance between the car and the radar is changing at 20
meters per second, how fast will the radar record him as driving when the car is 4
meters from the stop light? Is the car speeding?

b) Water drains from the tip of a conical tank at the volumetric flow rate of 5 . What is
s
the rate of change of the height of the water in the tank when the water level is 10 ft?

8. You are standing next to a wheat field, when suddenly a velociraptor attacks you. Luckily,
there is a safe house not far from your position. You must first run through the wheat field,
then finish on the grass path, minimizing the time it takes to run to the safe house. What is the
distance x that will give you the fastest time through the wheat field and best chance of
survival? Your running speed on grass is 18 ft/s, and through the wheat field is 14 ft/s.

9. a) You are the head of marketing for Cookiulus, Inc. Living up to your motto of “The global
maximum of cookie goodness”, you are releasing a new, extra scrumptious line of Trig
Newtons. It costs Cookiulus, Inc. ten dollars to make a box of Trig Newtons. Market research
has revealed that if you price each box at P dollars, you’ll sell exactly 1000(𝑃 − 40) boxes of
cookies. Of course, if you go over $40 a box, nobody will want to buy them. How much should
you charge for a box of Trig Newtons to maximize the amount of profit you make, and how
many boxes will you sell at that price?

Hint: Your unpaid intern would like to remind you that profit is revenue minus cost.

b) Suddenly, your other unpaid intern dramatically flings open your office door and announces
that your chief rivals at L'Hôpital Bakery (“Pushing the limits of cookies!”) are simultaneously
releasing their brand-new Factoreo cookies, priced at $15 a box. You know that Trig Newtons
are superior, but market research says that everyone will just buy the cheaper cookie. In other
words, if you price Trig Newtons above $15, you will sell none; if you price them at $15 or
below, you will still sell 1000(𝑃 − 40) of them. Now how should you price them?

d) ∫ cos( + 3) 𝑑𝑥

parabola with vertex at (3, 9).

𝑛(𝑛 + 1)
𝑖=
2

11. Mean Value Theorem

There are two police officers stationed 7 miles apart along a stretch of highway. A car drives
by the first police officer going 65 mph, and 5 minutes later drives by the second police officer
going at 65 mph. If the speed limit is 70 mph, use the mean value theorem to determine that at
some point between the two police officers the car was speeding.

12. Newton’s Method

Consider the following graph of the function 𝑦 = 𝑥 − 1.

a) On the graph, sketch two iterations of Newton’s method starting from a guess of 𝑥 = 3.

b) On the graph, try sketching an iteration of Newton’s method starting from a guess of 𝑥 = 0.
What happens, and why?
