Maths - Modelling with Differentiation


What would the differential be called for $A = \pi r^2$?


\[\frac{dA}{dr}\]
\[A = \pi r^2 \\ \frac{dA}{dr}\]

How would you describe the differential?


The rate of change of area with respect to radius.

Can you differentiate $V = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3$?


\[\frac{dV}{dr} = 4\pi r^2\]
\[V = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 \\ \frac{dV}{dr} = 4\pi r^2\]

How could you explain “the rate of change of volume with respect to radius”?


How much additional volume you gain for a small change in the radius.

PHOTO CUBOID XY This cubiod represents a tank with no top and area $54m^2$. What’s the formula for the surface area?


\[54m^2 = 2x^2 + 3xy\]

PHOTO CUBOID XY What’s the formula the volume of this cubiod?


\[x^2y\]

PHOTO CUBIOD XY You have the two equations

\[A = 2x^2 + 3xy = 54m^2 \\ V = x^2y\]

How would you find the actual volume of the cubiod?


Rearrange the first formula in terms of $y$ and then substitue back into the volume formula.
