ATS 5 Application of Derivatives

This document contains 12 questions regarding the application of derivatives in mathematics. The questions cover topics like proving exponential functions are strictly increasing, rates of change of volume and surface area, finding maximum and minimum values of functions, and related rates problems. The final question involves calculating the volume and surface area of a semi-circular solid and expressing the surface area in terms of the volume and radius.

Q12. Some young entrepreneurs started an industry “young achievers” for casting metal into various
shapes. They put up an advertisement online stating the same and expecting order to cast metal for
toys, sculptures, decorative pieces and more.
A group of friends wanted to make innovative toys and hence contacted the “young achievers” to
order them to cast metal into solid half cylinders with a rectangular base and semi-circular ends.
