    First Partial Derviatives

    See attachment. Compute the first partial derivatives of the function: W = 4x^3 y^2 - 3xyz + 7yz^2.

    Determing Rate of Change using Chain Rule

    The radius of a right circular cone is increasing at a rate of 1.6in/s while its height is decreasing at a rate of 2.5 in/s. At what rate is the volume of the cone changing when the radius is 120in and the height is 140in?

    Derivatives

    See attachment for equations 1) determine the interval(s) where the function is increasing and the interval(s) where it is decreasing. 2) determine the interval(s) where the function is increasing and the interval(s) where it is decreasing. 3) Find the relative maxima and relative minima, if any, of the following functi

    Scheduling

    See attached for proper formatting Rank the Critical ratio sequencing rules on the three evaluation criteria of average flow time, average number of jobs in the system, and average job lateness for the information below. (Do not evaluate shortest processing time or first-come first-served). A production planner must deci

    Cowling's rule

    Cowling rule is another method for determining the dosage of a drug to prescribed to a child. For this rule, the formula d=D(a+1) ------ 24 gives the child's dosage d, Where D is the adult dosage and a is the age of the child in years. If the adult dosage of a drug is 600 milligrams and a doctor uses this formula to

    application of derivative

    With a yearly inflation rate of 7%, prices are given by P=p(1.05)^t, where p is the price in dollars when t=0 and t is the time in years. Suppose p=1. How fast (in cents/ year) are prices rising when t=12? Find f'(x) and f''(x) if f(x)=(4x^2+12)(3x-1)

    Homogeneous Functions and Partial Derivatives

    Each function f is homogeneous of degree n, that is f satisfies the equation f(tx,ty)= t^n f(x,y) for all t, where n is a positive integer and f has continuous second-order partial derivatives. Verify that f satisfies the given equation. See attached page for equation.

    Finding Rate of Change in a Given Direction

    The temperature T in a metal ball is inversely proportional to the distance from the center of the ball, which we take to be the origin. The temperature at the point (1,2,2) is 120 degrees. Find the rate of change of T at (1,2,2) in the direction toward the point (2,1,3) Show that at any point in the ball the direction of
