Chapter 5: Problem 24

Determine the quadrants in which the solution of the differential equation is an increasing function. Explain. (Do not solve the differential equation.) $$ \frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{1}{2} x^{2} y $$

Short Answer

Expert verified
The function is increasing in the first and second quadrants.

Step by step solution

01

Consider the sign of \(x^2\)

Since \(x^2\) is always nonnegative, the sign of the derivative \(\frac{d y}{d x} = \frac{1}{2} x^2 y\) is determined by the sign of \(y\). If \(y\) is positive, the derivative is positive (indicating an increasing function). If \(y\) is negative, the derivative is negative (indicating a decreasing function).
02

Determine the quadrants based on the sign of \(y\)

In the Cartesian coordinate system, \(y\) is positive in the first and second quadrants, hence the derivative would be positive there and the function is increasing in these quadrants. By the same logic, \(y\) is negative in the third and fourth quadrants, hence the derivative would be negative and the function would be decreasing in these quadrants.

A tank on a water tower is a sphere of radius 50 feet. Determine the depths of the water when the tank is filled to one-fourth and three-fourths of its total capacity. (Note: Use the zero or root feature of a graphing utility after evaluating the definite integral.)

Sketch the region bounded by the graphs of the algebraic functions and find the area of the region. $$ y=-\frac{3}{8} x(x-8), y=10-\frac{1}{2} x, x=2, x=8 $$

Set up the definite integral that gives the area of the region. $$ \begin{array}{l} f(x)=3\left(x^{3}-x\right) \\ g(x)=0 \end{array} $$

A region bounded by the parabola \(y=4 x-x^{2}\) and the \(x\) -axis is revolved about the \(x\) -axis. A second region bounded by the parabola \(y=4-x^{2}\) and the \(x\) -axis is revolved about the \(x\) -axis. Without integrating, how do the volumes of the two solids compare? Explain.

Fluid Force on a Rectangular Plate A rectangular plate of height \(h\) feet and base \(b\) feet is submerged vertically in a tank of fluid that weighs \(w\) pounds per cubic foot. The center is \(k\) feet below the surface of the fluid, where \(h \leq k / 2\). Show that the fluid force on the surface of the plate is \(\boldsymbol{F}=w k h b\)
