True or False? In Exercises \(87-92,\) determine whether the statement is true or false. If it is false, explain why or give an example that shows it is false. $$ g(x)=3 f(x), \text { then } g^{\prime}(x)=3 f^{\prime}(x) $$
Roadway Design Cars on a certain roadway travel on a circular arc of radius \(r .\) In order not to rely on friction alone to overcome the centrifugal force, the road is banked at an angle of magnitude \(\theta\) from the horizontal (see figure). The banking angle must satisfy the equation \(r g \tan \theta=v^{2},\) where \(v\) is the velocity of the cars and \(g=32\) feet per second per second is the acceleration due to gravity. Find the relationship between the related rates \(d v / d t\) and \(d \theta / d t\) .
Graphical Reasoning Consider the function \(f(x)=\frac{1}{3} x^{3}\) (a) Use a graphing utility to graph the function and estimate the values of \(f^{\prime}(0), f^{\prime}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right), f^{\prime}(1), f^{\prime}(2),\) and \(f^{\prime}(3) .\) (b) Use your results from part (a) to determine the values of \(\quad f^{\prime}\left(-\frac{1}{2}\right), f^{\prime}(-1), f^{\prime}(-2),\) and \(f^{\prime}(-3) .\) (c) Sketch a possible graph of \(f^{\prime}\) (d) Use the definition of derivative to find \(f^{\prime}(x)\)
Finding a Derivative In Exercises \(7-34,\) find the derivative of the function. $$ f(x)=x^{2}(x-2)^{4} $$
Area The included angle of the two sides of constant equal length \(s\) of an isosceles triangle is \(\theta\) . (a) Show that the area of the triangle is given by \(A=\frac{1}{2} s^{2} \sin \theta .\) (b) the angle \(\theta\) is increasing at the rate of \(\frac{1}{2}\) radian per minute. Find the rates of change of the area when \(\theta=\pi / 6\) and \(\theta=\pi / 3 .\) (c) Explain why the rate of change of the area of the triangle is not constant even though \(d \theta / d t\) is constant.
