Calculus: Single Variable Part 2 – Differentiation Coursera Quiz Answers

Get All Weeks Calculus: Single Variable Part 2 – Differentiation Coursera Quiz Answers

Calculus is one of the grandest achievements of human thought, explaining everything from planetary orbits to the optimal size of a city to the periodicity of a heartbeat. This brisk course covers the core ideas of single-variable Calculus with an emphasis on conceptual understanding and applications.

The course is ideal for students beginning in the engineering, physical, and social sciences. Distinguishing features of the course include 1) the introduction and use of the Taylor series and approximations from the beginning; 2) a novel synthesis of discrete and continuous forms of Calculus; 3) an emphasis on the conceptual over the computational; and 4) a clear, dynamic, unified approach.

In this second part–part two of five–we cover derivatives, differentiation rules, linearization, higher derivatives, optimization, differentials, and differentiation operators.

Hooke’s law states that the force FF exerted by an ideal spring displaced a distance xx from its equilibrium point is given by F(x) = -kxF(x)=−kx, where the constant kk is called the spring constant and varies from one spring to another. In real life, many springs are nearly ideal for small displacements; however, for large displacements, they might deviate from what Hooke’s law predicts.

Much of the confusion between nearly-ideal and non-ideal springs is clarified by thinking in terms of series: for xx near zero, F(x) = -kx + O(x^2)F(x)=−kx+O(x2).

Suppose you have a spring whose force follows the equation F(x) = – 2 \tan 3xF(x)=−2tan3x. What is its spring constant?

Q1. The profit, PP, of a company that manufactures and sells NN units of a certain product is modeled by the function

P(N) = R(N) – C(N)P(N)=R(N)−C(N)

The revenue function, R(N)=S\cdot NR(N)=SN, is the selling price SS per unit times the number NN of units sold. The company’s cost, C(N)=C_0+C_\mathrm{op}(N)C(N)=C0​+Cop​(N), is a sum of two terms. The first is a constant C_0C0​ describing the initial investment needed to set up production. The other term, C_\mathrm{op}(N)Cop​(N), varies depending on how many units the company produces, and represents the operating costs.

Companies care not only about profit, but also marginal profit, the rate of change of profit with respect to NN.

Assume that S = \$50S=$50, C_0 = \$75,000C0​=$75,000, C_\mathrm{op}(N) = \$50 \sqrt{N}Cop​(N)=$50N​, and that the company currently sells N=100N=100 units. Compute the marginal profit at this rate of production. Round your answer to one decimal place.

Q2. In Economics, physical capital represents the buildings or machines used by a business to produce a product. The marginal product of physical capital represents the rate of change of output product with respect to physical capital (informally, if you increase the size of your factory a little, how much more product can you create?).

A particular model tells us that the output product YY is given, as a function of capital KK, by

Y = A K^{\alpha} L^{1-\alpha}Y=AKαL1−α

where AA is a constant, LL is units of labor (assumed to be constant), and \alphaα is a constant between 0 and 1. Determine the marginal product of physical capital predicted by this model.

• \displaystyle \frac{dY}{dK} = \alpha A \frac{L^{1-\alpha}}{K^{\alpha – 1}}dKdY​=αAKα−1L1−α
• \displaystyle \frac{dY}{dK} = (\alpha – 1)A \big( \frac{L}{K} \big)^{\alpha – 1}dKdY​=(α−1)A(KL​)α−1

Q1. Consider a box of height hh with a square base of side length LL. Assume that LL is increasing at a rate of 10\%10% per day, but hh is decreasing at a rate of 10\%10% per day. Use a linear approximation to find at what (approximate) rate the volume of the box changing?

Hint: consider the relative rate of change of the volume of the box.

Hint^\mathbf{2}2: in this case you can very easily calculate the exact rate of change —8.9%—, so using linearization might seem like overkill. However, if you set up things right, you don’t even need a calculator to find out the approximate rate of change! Do you see why?

• Increasing at a rate of 5\%5% per day.
• Increasing at a rate of 10\%10% per day.
• Decreasing at a rate of 10\%10% per day.
• Increasing at a rate of 2.5\%2.5% per day.
• It does not change.

Q2. A large tank of oil is slowly leaking oil into a containment tank surrounding it. The oil tank is a vertical cylinder with a diameter of 10 meters. The containment tank has a square base with side length of 15 meters and tall vertical walls. The bottom of the oil tank and the bottom of the containment tank are concentric (the round base inside the square base). Denote by h_oho​ the height of the oil inside of the oil tank, and by h_chc​ the height of the oil in the containment tank. How are the rates of change of these two quantities related?

Q3. The stopping distance D_\mathrm{stop}Dstop​ is the distance traveled by a vehicle from the moment the driver becomes aware of an obstacle in the road until the car stops completely. This occurs in two phases.

The first one, the reaction phase, spans from the moment the driver sees the obstacle until he or she has completely depressed the brake pedal. This entails taking the decision to stop the vehicle, lifting the foot from the gas pedal and onto the brake pedal, and pressing the latter down its full distance to obtain maximum braking power. The amount of time necessary to do all this is called the reaction time t_\mathrm{react}treact​, and is independent of the speed at which the vehicle was traveling. Although this quantity varies from driver to driver, it is typically between 1.5\,\mathrm{s}1.5s and 2.5\,\mathrm{s}2.5s. For the purposes of this problem, we will use an average value of 2\,\mathrm{s}2s. The distance traversed by the vehicle in this time is unsurprisingly called reaction distance D_\mathrm{react}Dreact​ and is given by the formula

D_\mathrm{react} = v t_\mathrm{react}Dreact​=vtreact​

where vv is the initial speed of the vehicle.

In the braking phase, the vehicle decelerates and comes to a complete stop. The braking distance D_\mathrm{brake}Dbrake​ that the vehicle covers in this phase is proportional to the square of the initial speed of the vehicle:

D_\mathrm{brake} = \alpha v^2Dbrake​=αv2

The constant of proportionality \alphaα depends on the vehicle type and condition, as well as on the road conditions. Consider a typical value of 10^{-2}\,\mathrm{s^2/m}10−2s2/m.

If the initial speed of the vehicle is 108\,\mathrm{km/h} = 30\,\mathrm{m/s}108km/h=30m/s, what is the ratio between the relative rate of change of the stopping distance and the relative rate of change of the initial speed?

• \displaystyle \frac{dD_\mathrm{stop} / D_\mathrm{stop}}{dv / v} = \frac{26}{23}dv/vdDstop​/Dstop​​=2326​
• \displaystyle \frac{dD_\mathrm{stop} / D_\mathrm{stop}}{dv / v} = \frac{24}{23}dv/vdDstop​/Dstop​​=2324​
• \displaystyle \frac{dD_\mathrm{stop} / D_\mathrm{stop}}{dv / v} = \frac{27}{23}dv/vdDstop​/Dstop​​=2327​
• \displaystyle \frac{dD_\mathrm{stop} / D_\mathrm{stop}}{dv / v} = 1dv/vdDstop​/Dstop​​=1
• \displaystyle \frac{dD_\mathrm{stop} / D_\mathrm{stop}}{dv / v} = \frac{28}{26}dv/vdDstop​/Dstop​​=2628​
• \displaystyle \frac{dD_\mathrm{stop} / D_\mathrm{stop}}{dv / v} = \frac{25}{23}dv/vdDstop​/Dstop​​=2325​

where mm is mass and vv is velocity. Compute the relative rate of change of kinetic energy, \displaystyle\frac{dK}{K}KdK​, given that the relative rate of change of mass is -7−7 and the relative rate of change of velocity is +5+5.

• \displaystyle\frac{dK}{K}=-2KdK​=−2
• \displaystyle\frac{dK}{K}=-\frac{7}{2}KdK​=−27​
• Not enough information is given to solve the problem.
• \displaystyle\frac{dK}{K}=\frac{3}{2}KdK​=23​
• \displaystyle\frac{dK}{K}=5KdK​=5
• \displaystyle\frac{dK}{K}=-7KdK​=−7
• \displaystyle\frac{dK}{K}=3KdK​=3
• \displaystyle\frac{dK}{K}=-9KdK​=−9

Q10. Compute the ninth derivative of (x-3)^{10}(x−3)10 with respect to xx.

• 10(x-3)^910(x−3)9
• \displaystyle\frac{1}{9!}(x-3)^99!1​(x−3)9
• 9!9!
• 11
• 9!(x-3)9!(x−3)
• 10!10!
• 10!(x-3)10!(x−3)
• 00
