Question

The edge of a cube is decreasing at the rate of`( 0.6"cm")/sec`. Find the rate at which its volume is decreasing, when the edge of the cube is 2 cm.

Solution

Let x be the edge of the cube and V be its volume at any time t.
Then V = x3
Differentiating both sides w.r.t. t, we get

`"dV"/"dt" = 3x^2"dx"/"dt"`

Now, `dx/dt = (0.6"cm")/sec` and x = 2 cm

∴ `"dV"/dt` = 3(2)2(0.6)

= 7.2
Hence, the volume of the cube is decreasing at the rate of `(7.2"cm"^3)/sec`.

By completing the following activity, find the values of x such that f(x) = 2x3 – 15x2 – 84x – 7 is decreasing function.

Solution: f(x) = 2x3 – 15x2 – 84x – 7

∴ f'(x) = `square`

∴ f'(x) = 6`(square) (square)`

Since f(x) is decreasing function.

∴ f'(x) < 0

Case 1: `(square)` > 0 and (x + 2) < 0

∴ x ∈ `square`

Case 2: `(square)` < 0 and (x + 2) > 0

∴ x ∈ `square`

∴ f(x) is decreasing function if and only if x ∈ `square`
