Sand is pouring from a pipe at the rate of 12 cm3/s. The falling sand forms a cone on the ground in such a way that the height of the cone is always one-sixth of t heradius of the base. How fast is the sand cone increasing when the height is 4 cm?
Find the points on the curve x2 + y2 – 2x – 3= 0 at whichthe tangents are parallel to x-axis.
Let P ( x, y ) be any point on the given curve x2 + y2 - 2 x - 3 = 0.
Tangent to the curve at the point (x, y ) is given by .
Differentiating the equation of the cueve w.r.t. x we get
Let P ( x1, y1 ) be the point on the given curve at which the tangents are parallel to the x-axis.
To get the value of y1 just substitute x1 = 1 in the equation x2 + y2 - 2 x - 3 = 0, we get
( 1 )2 + ( y1 )2 - 2 x 1 - 3 = 0
So, the points on the given curve at which the tangents are parallel to the x-axis are ( 1, 2 ) and ( 1, - 2 ).
Show that of all the rectangles inscribed in a given fixed circle, the square has the maximum area.
Show that the height of a closed right circular cylinder of given surface and maximum volume, is equal to the diameter of its base.
On the ellipse 4x2 + 9y2 = 1, the points at which the tangents are parallel to the line 8x = 9y, are
A container s the shape of an inverted cone. Its height is 6 m and radius is 4m at the top. If it is filled with water at the rate of 3m/min then the rate of change of height of water(in mt/min) when the water level is 3 m is
