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.

This cubiod represents a tank with no top and area $54m^2$. What’s the formula for the surface area?
\[54m^2 = 2x^2 + 3xy\]
What’s the formula the volume of this cubiod?
\[x^2y\]
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.
