The population in a certain city has radial density function ρ(r) = 15(1 + r2)−1/2, where r is the distance from the city center in kilometers and ρ has units of thousands per square kilometer. How many people live in the ring between 10 and 30 km from the city center?
. Calculate D(f ◦ g) for the functions f(x, y, z) = (x + y + z, x^3 − e^yz) and g(s, t, u) = (st, tu, su).
Suppose that y and z are twice-differentiable functions of x. Show that
