    DIFFERENTIATION

    Question 1
    𝑰
    The decibel scale of loudness is L = 10 𝐥𝐨𝐠 𝟏𝟎 ( 𝑰 ) where I, measured in watts per square meter, is
    𝟎
    the intensity of the sound and 𝑰𝟎 = 10-12 watt/m 2 is the softest audible sound at 1000 hertz.
    Classical music typically ranges from 30 to 100 decibels. The human ear's pain threshold is about
    120 decibels.
    a) Suppose that a jet engine at 50 meters has a decibel level of 130, and a normal conversation at
    1 meter has a decibel level of 60. What is the ratio of the intensities of the two sounds?
    b) Suppose that the intensity of sound is proportional to the inverse square of the distance from the
    sound. Based on this rule, calculate the decibel level of the sound from the jet at a distance of 100
    meters, at distance of 1 km.
    MAX-MIN PROBLEMS AND APPLICATION OF DIFFERENTIATION

    Question 2
    A. The U. S. Postal Service accepts boxes whose length plus girth equals at most 108 inches. What
    are the dimensions of the box of largest volume that is accepted? What is its volume (in cubic
    feet)?
    Hint:("Length" is the longest of the three dimensions and "girth" is the sum of the lengths of the
    four sides of the face perpendicular to the length, that is, the "waist-line" measurement of the box.
    Note that the best shape for this rectangular face perpendicular to the length must be a square.)

    B. Find the proportions of the open (i.e., topless) cylindrical can having the largest volume inside,
    among all those having a fixed surface area A. (Use as the variable the radius r.)
    Question 3
    A. An airline will fill 100 seats of its aircraft at a fare of $200. For every $5 increase in the fare,
    the plane loses two passengers. For every decrease of $5, the company gains two passengers. What
    price maximizes revenue?
    B. A utility company has a small power plant that can produce a kilowatt hours of electricity daily
    𝑥
    at a cost of 10 - 105 cents each for 0 < x < 8 x 105. Consumers will use 105(10 - p/2) kilowatt
    hours of electricity daily at a price of p cents per kilowatt hour. What price should the utility charge
    to maximize its profit?
    Question 4
    Question 5
    A. Coffee in a cup at a temperature 𝑦(𝑡𝑜 ) at time 𝑡𝑜 in a room at temperature ∝ cools; assume
    ∝ = 200C and c = 1/10.

    𝒚(𝒕) = (𝒚(𝒕𝒐 )−∝)𝒆−𝒄(𝒕− 𝒕𝒐) + ∝ , 𝒕 ≥ 𝒕𝒐 . You are going to add milk so that the cup has
    10% milk and 90% coffee. If the coffee has temperature 𝑇1 and the milk 𝑇2 , the temperature of the
    9 1
    mixture will be 10 𝑇1 + 10 𝑇2 . The coffee temperature is 1000C at time t = 0, and you will drink the
    mixture at time t = 10. The milk is refrigerated at 50C. What is the best moment to add the milk so
    that the coffee will be hottest when you drink it?
