Instruction for Creating a Project: Word Problems on Application of Derivatives

Introduction

The application of derivatives is a fundamental concept in calculus that allows us to analyze and model the behavior of various real-world phenomena. In this project, you will generate six word problems that highlight the practical applications of derivatives. These problems will not only reinforce the theoretical understanding of derivatives but also demonstrate how they are used in various fields such as physics, economics, biology, and engineering.

Objectives

Word Problem Format

Each problem should include:

  1. Contextual Background: A brief explanation of the real-world scenario being modeled.
  2. Mathematical Situation: Description of the function or scenario where the derivative applies.
  3. Question or Task: A specific question that requires the use of derivatives to solve.

Example Word Problems

Here are six example word problems that you can use as inspiration for your project:

Problem 1: Velocity of a Moving Object

A car's position is described by the function ( s(t) = 4t^3 - 12t^2 + 9t ), where ( s ) is measured in meters and ( t ) is measured in seconds.

Task: Determine the velocity of the car at ( t = 2 ) seconds and identify when the car is stationary.

Problem 2: Profit Maximization

A company’s profit is given by the function ( P(x) = -5x^2 + 150x - 200 ), where ( P ) is the profit in dollars and ( x ) is the number of items sold.

Task: Find the number of items that should be sold to maximize profit and calculate the maximum profit.

Problem 3: Population Growth

The population of a certain species of fish in a lake can be modeled by the function ( P(t) = 100e^{0.03t} ), where ( P ) is the population size and ( t ) is the time in years.

Task: Determine the rate of change of the fish population after 5 years and discuss the implications for conservation efforts.

Problem 4: Revenue Optimization

A bookstore finds that the relationship between the price ( p ) of a book and the number of books sold ( n ) is given by ( n(p) = 50 - 2p ). The revenue ( R ) can therefore be expressed as ( R(p) = p \cdot n(p) ).

Task: Calculate the price that maximizes revenue and find the maximum revenue.

Problem 5: Chemical Reaction Rate

The concentration of a reactant in a chemical reaction changes over time according to the function ( C(t) = 10e^{-0.1t} ), where ( C ) is the concentration and ( t ) is in minutes.

Task: Find the rate of change of concentration at ( t = 10 ) minutes and explain what this indicates about the reaction.

Problem 6: Projectile Motion

A ball is thrown upwards and its height ( h ) in meters after ( t ) seconds is given by ( h(t) = -5t^2 + 20t + 2 ).

Task: Determine the time when the ball reaches its highest point and calculate this maximum height.

Conclusion

By tackling these word problems, you will gain insights into how derivatives can be applied to solve real-world problems. Make sure to provide thorough solutions, including the application of differentiation techniques, to fully demonstrate your understanding of the subject matter.

Good luck with your project!
