    Oscillating Inflow Concentration

    Oscillating Inflow Concentration A tank initially contains 10 lb of salt dissolved in 200 gallons of water. Assume that a salt solution flows into the tank at a rate of 3 gal/min and the well-stirred mixture flows out at the same rate. Assume that the inflow concentration oscillates I n time, however, and is given by ci(t

    Functions : Tangent, Increasing or Decreasing and Area under a Curve

    2. Let f be a function defined on the closed interval -3≤x≤4 with f(0) = 3. The graph of f', the derivative of f, consists of one line segment and a semicircle. a) On what intervals, if any, is f increasing? Justify your answer. b) Find the x-coordinate of each point of inflection of the graph of f on t

    Differentiation: s = ut + 1/2at^2

    This equation represents displacement of a body(s) against time (t) where (u) is the initial velocity and (a) is the acceleration. Differentiate to derive the equation for instantaneous velocity, which would be represented by the gradient of a graph. s = ut + 1/2at^2

    Minimization, maximization (Calculus)

    An ant is walking around the outside of the cube in "straight" paths (where we define a straight path in this case as one formed by the edges of a cross section created by a plane slicing through the cube). For example, to get from point Q to point R in the picture above on the right, the ant walks along the red path. There are

    Graphs : Rectangular and Parametric Forms

    Graph x=(t^2+2t+1)^(1/2) y=(t^3+2t^4)/t^2 a. Graph on the interval [0,3] b. Convert to rectangular form. c. Adjust the domain of the rectangular form to agree the parametric form.

    Proportionality and Rate of Change Word Problem

    A container has the shape of an open right circular cone. The height of the container is 10cm and the diameter of the opening is 10cm. Water in the container is evaporating so that its depth h is changing at the constant rate of -3/10 cm/hr. Show that the rate of change of the volume of water in the container due to evaporati

    Word Problem : Intermediate Value Theorem

    At 8am on Saturday, a man begins running up the side of a mountain to his weekend campsite. On Sunday at 8am, he runs back down the mountain. It takes him 20 minutes to run up, but only 10 minutes to run down. At some point on his way down, he realizes that he passed the same exact place at exactly the same time on Saturday.

    Parametric Equations : Circle and Ellipse

    Create parametric equations for: a. A circle of radius 2 centered at (3,1). b. An elipse with a horizontal major axis of length 5 and a verticle minor axis of length 4.

    Maximum and Minimum Distance Word Problem

    Johnny Steamboat wants to sail from his island home to town in order to purchase a book of carpet samples. His home island is 7 miles from the nearest point on the shore. The town is 35 miles downshore and one mile inland. If he can run his steamboat at 12 mph and catch a cab as soon as he reaches the coast that will drive 60
