5. Given y = x3 + 2x . If x decreases at the rate of 0.5 6. Given that the perimeter of a sector is 12.66. Find the
unit s-1, find the rate of change of y when x = 2. area of the sector. [3 marks]
Perimeter = 2r+ s
dy 2r+ r = 12.66
x = –0.5 and 3x 2 2 (when x=2)
dx 0.5 rad r = 5.06
= 14 = 5.1
dy thus, area = ½ ( 5.1)2 (0.5)
