c) find the coordinates of Q
2. The diagram shows the coss-section of a vase. The volume of the water
in the vase, V cm³, when the depth of water in the vase is h cm is given by
V=40 pi (e^0.1 h^-1)
The vase is initially empty and water is poured into it at a constant rate
of 80 cm³s-¹
Find the rate at which the depth of water in the vase is increasing
a) when h=4
