    Instantaneous rate of change: Pool problem

    A swimming pool is 20 ft wide, 40 ft long, 3 ft deep at the shallow end, and 9 ft deep at its deepest point. If the pool is being filled at a rate of 0.8 ft^3/min, how fast is the water level rising when the depth at the deepest point is 5 ft?

    Rate of change

    A water trough is 10 m long and a cross-section has the shape of an isosceles trapezoid that is 30 cm wide at the bottom, 80 cm wide at the top, and has height 50 cm. If the trough is being filled with water at a rate of 0.2 m^3/min, how fast is the water level rising when the water is 30 cm deep?

    Instantaneous Rate of Change of Water

    A trough is 10 ft long and its ends have the shape of isosceles triangles that are 3 ft across at the top and have a height of 1 ft. If the trough is being filled with water at a rate of 12 ft^3/min, how fast is the water level rising when the water is 6 inches deep?

    Function and Differential Equations

    Please assist me with the attached problems relating to functions and (partial) differential equations. Thanks very much. Please tell me which is true and which is false. Then please explain why it is true or false. As you see c, d, and e are the answers I believe and next to some in parenthesis are some basic explanations.

    Multivariable Calculus: Partial Derivative

    Let x = (1/2)(u^2-v^2), y=uv, and f=f(x,y) [QUESTION 1] use the chain rule to derive the change of variables formula in matrix form: (fu,fv)=A*(fx,fy) {actually it is vertical , so fu is at the top and fv is at the bottom. Same for fx and fy: fx is under fy; sorry for the notation I cant do it another way} [QUESTION 2]

    Multivariable calculus

    Consider the function : f(x,y) = x(x-1)(x-2) + (y-1)(x-y) [QUESTION 1]find the maximum and the minim values of the directional derivative (df/ds)]u at ( 1 , 3/2 ) as u varies . ( (df/fs)]u : I can't write the symbol clearly but it means : the derivative of f according to s on the directi

    Multivariable calculus

    Consider a triangle in the plane, with angles , a, b , c. Assume that the radius of its circle is equal to 1. 1) by decomposing the triangle into six right triangles having the incenter as a common vertex, express the area A of the triangle in term of a, b , c ( the answer should be a symmetric expression). Then use the resu
