Once Kate's kite reaches a height of \(50 \mathrm{ft}\) (above her hands), it rises no higher but drifts due east in a wind blowing \(5 \mathrm{ft} / \mathrm{s} .\) How fast is the string running through Kate's hands at the moment that she has released \(120 \mathrm{ft}\) of string?
Multiple tangent lines Complete the following steps. a. Find equations of all lines tangent to the curve at the given value of \(x\) b. Graph the tangent lines on the given graph. \(4 x^{3}=y^{2}(4-x) ; x=2\) (cissoid of Diocles)
Vertical tangent lines a. Determine the points at which the curve \(x+y^{3}-y=1\) has a vertical tangent line (see Exercise 52 ). b. Does the curve have any horizontal tangent lines? Explain.
One of the Leibniz Rules One of several Leibniz Rules in calculus deals with higher-order derivatives of products. Let \((f g)^{(n)}\) denote the \(n\) th derivative of the product \(f g,\) for \(n \geq 1\) a. Prove that \((f g)^{(2)}=f^{\prime \prime} g+2 f^{\prime} g^{\prime}+f g^{\prime \prime}\) b. Prove that, in general,$$(f g)^{(n)}=\sum_{k=0}^{n}\left(\begin{array}{l} n \\\k\end{array}\right) f^{(k)} g^{(n-k)}$$ where \(\left(\begin{array}{l}n \\\ k\end{array}\right)=\frac{n !}{k !(n-k) !}\) are the binomial coefficients. c. Compare the result of (b) to the expansion of \((a+b)^{n}\).
An angler hooks a trout and begins turning her circular reel at \(1.5 \mathrm{rev} / \mathrm{s}\). If the radius of the reel (and the fishing line on it) is 2 in. then how fast is she reeling in her fishing line?
