Accepted Answer

$$0 ft/s$$

Question 2

Which of the following is the correct derivative of $$f(x) = 	an$$^{-1}$$(x)$$?

Accepted Answer

$$\frac{1}{1 + x^2$}$$

Question 3

Find $$\frac{dy}{dx} by $$implicit differentiation for the equation $$x^2$$ + $$y^2 = 25$.

Question 4

A balloon is rising at a rate of $$4 m/s. A $$bicyclist passes beneath it, traveling at $$10 m/s. $$How fast is the distance between the bicyclist and the balloon increasing $$3$$ seconds later?

Accepted Answer

$$\frac{dD}{dt} = \frac{10x + 4y}{\sqrt{x^2$ + y^2$}}$$ evaluated at $$x = 30$$, $$y = 12$$; so $$\frac{dD}{dt} = \frac{10 	imes 30 + 4 	imes 12}{\sqrt{30^2$ + 12^2$}} = \frac{300 + 48}{\sqrt{900 + 144}} = \frac{348}{\sqrt{1044}} \approx 10.8 m/s$$

Accepted Answer

$$\frac{2x}{x^2$ + 1}$$

Question 9
