Solution. The correct answer C . Using the law of cosines we obtained

72 = 32 + x2 − 2 × 3 × x × cos θ ⇔ x2 − 6x cos θ = 40

Differentiating both sides of the equation we have

Solution. The correct answer D . Let h(in) and V (in3 ) denote the water level and the volume of water in the
tank at time t. A coffee pot is in the form of a circular cylinder of constant radius 4in. Thus, the volume V of water
in the tank at time t is
V = πR2 h = 16πh.
Differentiating this equation with respect to t we obtain

Question 45. A study prepared for National Association of Realtors estimates that the number of housing starts
in the southwest, N (t) (in units of a million), over the next 5 years is related to the mortgage rate r (t) (percent per
year) by the equation 9N 2 + r = 36, where t is measured in years. What is the rate of change of the number of
housing starts with respect to time when the mortgage rate is 11% per year and is increasing at the rate of 1.5% per
year?
A −0.06 B None of them C −0.04 D −0.05

Question 46. Texar Inc., a manufacturer of disk drives is willing to make x thousand 1GB USB flash drives avail-
able in the marketplace each week when the wholesale price is p dollars per drive. It is known that the relationship
between x and p is governed by the supply equation x2 − 3xp + p2 = 5. How fast is the supply of drives changing

Solution. The correct answer A . Let V and h be the volume and height of the water in the tank at time t. Our
problem, in terms of derivatives, is:
