A storage tank has shape of a circular cylinder .Suppose that the radius and height of the tank are measured at 1.5 m and 5m respectively with a possible error in calculating the capacity of the tank
Suppose a particular tissue culture has area AA(tt) at time tt and a
potential maximum area MM. Based on properties of cell division, it is reasonable to assume that
the area AA grows at a rate jointly proportional to �AA(tt) and MM − AA(tt); that is
dddd
dddd = kk�AA(tt) [MM − AA(tt)]
where kk is a positive constant.

a. Let RR(tt) = AA′
(tt) be the rate of tissue growth. Show that RR′
(tt) = 0 when AA(tt) = MM/3.
b. Is the rate of tissue growth greatest or least when AA(tt) = MM/3? [Hint: Use the first
derivative test or second derivative test.]
c. Based on the given information and what you discovered in part (a), what can you say
about the graph of AA(tt)?
Poiseuille’s law asserts that the speed of blood that is rr
centimeters from the central axis of an artery of radius RR is SS(rr) = cc(RR2 − rr2), where cc is a
positive constant. Where is the speed of the blood greatest?

4. A statue 10 feet high is standing on a base 13 feet high. If an observer’s eye is 5 feet
above the ground, how far should he stand from the base in order that the angle
between his lines of sight to the top and bottom of the statue is a maximum. (How far
should he stand to get the best view of the statue.
5. A steel girder 27 feet long is to be moved on rollers along a passageway 8 feet in
width and into a corridor at right angles to the passageway. If the horizontal width of
the girder is neglected, how wide must the corridor be in order that the girder can go
around the corner?
The augmented form of a linear system 𝐴𝑋 = 𝐵 is given by (𝐴|𝐵) = ( 1 0 1 | 1 0 1 1 | 2 0 2 𝜇 | 𝜇 ). Determine the value(s) of 𝜇 that will make the system have (i) no solution, (ii) a unique solution, (iii) infinitely many solutions.
