Q. The radius of the base of a cylinder is decreasing at a rate of 9 millimeters per hour and the height of the cylinder is increasing at a rate of 2 millimeters per hour.At a certain instant, the base radius is 8 millimeters and the height is 3 millimeters.What is the rate of change of the surface area of the cylinder at that instant (in square millimeters per hour)?Choose 1 answer:(A) 155π(B) 310π(C) −155π(D) −310πThe surface of a cylinder with base radius r and height h is 2πrh+2πr2.
Write Given Information: First, let's write down what we know:The radius r is decreasing at 9 mm/hr, so dtdr=−9 mm/hr.The height h is increasing at 2 mm/hr, so dtdh=2 mm/hr.At the instant we're considering, r=8 mm and h=3 mm.The formula for the surface area A of a cylinder is A=2πrh+2πr2.
Find Rate of Change: Now, we need to find the rate of change of the surface area, dtdA. To do this, we'll use the formula for the derivative of the surface area with respect to time: dtdA=dtd(2πrh+2πr2).
Apply Derivative Formula: Using the product rule and chain rule for differentiation, we get: dtdA=2π(rdtdh+hdtdr)+4πrdtdr.
Substitute Known Values: Plug in the values we know: dtdA=2π(8mm×2mm/hr+3mm×−9mm/hr)+4π(8mm×−9mm/hr).
Perform Calculations: Now, let's do the math:dtdA=2π(16 mm2/hr−27 mm2/hr)−4π(72 mm2/hr).
Simplify Expression: Simplify the expression: dtdA=2π(−11 mm2/hr)−288π mm2/hr.
Combine Terms: Combine the terms: dtdA=−22πmm2/hr−288πmm2/hr.
Add Together: Add the two terms together: dtdA=−310πmm2/hr.
