a) The length of a rectangle is decreasing at 4 cm/sec. and the width is increasing at 3 cm/sec.
When the length is 240cm. and the width is 100cm; is the diagonal increasing or decreasing?
Explain your answer.
b) Suppose a liquid is to be cleared of sediment by pouring it through a cone shaped filter.
Assume the height of the cone is 16 centimeters and the radius at the base of the cone is 4 cm.
If the liquid is flowing out of the cone at a rate of 2 cubic centimeters/min, how fast is the
depth of the liquid decreasing when the level is 8 inches deep?
c)
A shuttle is rising straight up from Cape Canaveral. NASA is tracking the shuttle a range
finder from a distance of 5,280 ft away from the lift-off point. The angle of elevation between
range finder and the rocket is found to be


increasing at 0.42 rad/sec. What is the rocket’s instantaneous rate of change at the moment?
