Earth is being added to a pile so that, when the height of the pile is h metres, its volume is V cubic metres, where V = (h6 + 16) 1 2 − 4.Find the value of dV/dh when h = 2.
As V=(h6+16)1/2 -4, the chain rule can be used to calculate dV/dh.
dV/dh=3h5(h6+16)-1/2
h=2 can be substituted in to find the solution.
325(26+16)-1/2=10.73

differentiate 4x^3 + 3x^2 -5x +1
Consider f(x)=a/(x-1)^2-1. For which a>1 is the triangle formed by (0,0) and the intersections of f(x) with the positive x- and y-axis isosceles?
Given f(x) = 3 - 5x + x^3, how can I show that f(x) = 0 has a root (x=a) in the interval 1<a<2?
