Chapter 10.2, Problem 1P
Figure 10.46 9 depicts sun rays traveling toward 3 points on the earth’s surface, labeled A, B, and C. Assume that these sun rays are parallel to the plane of the page. Figure 10.46 Sun rays traveling to the earth
Figure 10.46 Sun rays traveling to the earth
- Use a protractor to determine the angle that the sun’s rays make with horizontal ground at points A, B, and C.
- Suppose there are telephone poles of the same height at locations A, B, and C. Make drawings like the ones in Figure 10.47 on which the vertical lines represent telephone poles, and show on your drawings the different lengths of the shadows of these telephone poles, using the information from part (a).
Figure 10.47 Show the shadows produced by the telephone poles.

- (b) Find the (instantaneous) rate of change of y at x = 5. In the previous part, we found the average rate of change for several intervals of decreasing size starting at x = 5. The instantaneous rate of change of fat x = 5 is the limit of the average rate of change over the interval [x, x + h] as h approaches 0. This is given by the derivative in the following limit. lim h→0 - f(x + h) − f(x) h The first step to find this limit is to compute f(x + h). Recall that this means replacing the input variable x with the expression x + h in the rule defining f. f(x + h) = (x + h)² - 5(x+ h) = 2xh+h2_ x² + 2xh + h² 5✔ - 5 )x - 5h Step 4 - The second step for finding the derivative of fat x is to find the difference f(x + h) − f(x). - f(x + h) f(x) = = (x² x² + 2xh + h² - ])- = 2x + h² - 5h ])x-5h) - (x² - 5x) = ]) (2x + h - 5) Macbook Proarrow_forwardEvaluate the integral using integration by parts.
