Problem 4
Find the approximate change in the volume \(\mathrm{V}\) of a cube of side \(x\) metres caused by increasing the side by \(1 \%\).
Problem 5

Problem 5
A stone is dropped into a quiet lake and waves move in circles at the speed of \(5 \mathrm{~cm} / \mathrm{s}\). At the instant when the radius of the circular wave is \(8 \mathrm{~cm}\), how fast is the enclosed area increasing?
Problem 7
Show that \(y=\log (1+x)-\frac{2 x}{2+x}, x>-1\), is an increasing function of \(x\) throughout its domain.
Problem 8
