Questions
Question 1
**
A circle has radius \(r\) cm increasing at \(\frac{dr}{dt}=2\) cm/s. Find \(\frac{dA}{dt}\) when \(r=6\) cm, where \(A=\pi r^2\).
Question 2
**
A cube has side length \(s\) cm increasing at \(\frac{ds}{dt}=0.5\) cm/s. Find \(\frac{dV}{dt}\) when \(s=4\) cm, where \(V=s^3\).
Question 3
***
For a right triangle with legs \(x\) cm and \(y\) cm, \(x^2+y^2=25\). If \(\frac{dx}{dt}=1\) cm/s, \(x=3\) cm, and \(y=4\) cm, find \(\frac{dy}{dt}\).
Question 4

Question 5
***
A ladder \(13\) m long leans against a wall. The foot of the ladder moves away from the wall at \(2\) m/s. Find how fast the top moves down when the foot is \(5\) m from the wall.
Question 6
***
The area of a rectangle is \(A=xy\), where \(x\) and \(y\) are side lengths in cm. At one instant \(x=4\), \(y=7\), \(\frac{dx}{dt}=3\) cm/s, and \(\frac{dy}{dt}=-1\) cm/s. Find \(\frac{dA}{dt}\).
Question 7
****
Water flows into a cone-shaped tank with volume \(V=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h\). The tank shape gives \(r=\frac{h}{2}\). If \(\frac{dV}{dt}=6\pi\) cm\(^3\)/s, find \(\frac{dh}{dt}\) when \(h=4\) cm.
