Pollution control
An environmental study for a certain community indicates that there will be:
Q(p) = p[sup]2[/sup] + 4p + 900
units of a harmful pollutant in the air when the population is p thousand people. If the population is currently 50,000 and is increasing at the rate of 1,500 per year, at what rate is the level of pollution increasing?
Mitt forsøk:
dp/dt = 1500
dQ(p)/dt = ?
Deriverer Q(p) med hensyn på tid (t = year) på begge sider og får:
dQ(p)/dt = 2p * dp/dt + 4 * dp/dt
= 2 * 50 * 1500 + 4 * 1500
= 156000
