Understanding Related Rates
432– 445 Solve the related-rates problem. Give an exact answer unless otherwise stated.
432. If V is the volume of a sphere of radius r and the sphere expands as time passes, find
433. A pebble is thrown into a pond, and the ripples spread in a circular pattern. If the radius of the circle increases at a constant rate of 1 meter per second, how fast is the area of the circle increasing when the radius is 4 meters?

436. Two sides of a triangle are 6 meters and 8 meters in length, and the angle between them is increasing at a rate of 0.12 radians per second. Find the rate at which the area of the triangle is increasing when the angle between the sides is
437. A ladder 8 feet long rests against a vertical wall. If the bottom of the ladder slides away from the wall at a rate of 3 feet per second, how fast is the angle between the top of the ladder and the wall changing when the angle is
438. The base of a triangle is increasing at a rate of 2 centimeters per minute, and the height is increasing at a rate of 4 centimeters per minute. At what rate is the area changing when
439. At noon, Ship A is 150 kilometers east of Ship B. Ship A is sailing west at 20 kilometers per hour, and Ship B is sailing north at 35 kilometers per hour. How quickly is the distance between them changing at 3 p.m.? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.
440. A particle moves along the curve
441. Two people start walking from the same point. One person walks west at 2 miles per hour, and the other walks southwest (at an angle 45° south of west) at 4 miles per hour. How quickly is the distance between them changing after 40 minutes? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.
442. A trough is 20 feet long, and its ends are isosceles triangles that are 5 feet across the top and have a height of 2 feet. If the trough is being filled with water at a rate of 8 cubic feet per minute, how quickly is the water level rising when the water is 1 foot deep?
443. An experimental jet is flying with a constant speed of 700 kilometers per hour. It passes over a radar station at an altitude of 2 kilometers and climbs at an angle of 45°. At what rate is the distance from the plane to the radar station increasing 2 minutes later? Round your answer to the hundredths place.
444. A lighthouse is located on an island 5 kilometers away from the nearest point P on a straight shoreline, and the light makes 6 revolutions per minute. How fast is the beam of light moving along the shore when it’s 2 kilometers from P?
445. Gravel is being dumped into a pile that forms the shape of a cone whose base diameter is twice the height. If the gravel is being dumped at a rate of 20 cubic feet per minute, how fast is the height of the pile increasing when the pile is 12 feet high?
Finding Maxima and Minima from Graphs
