I know. It's just then we shouldn't say it's the value of the derivative there, since the derivative would technically be undefined there.

In that case, just say the angle of the tangent wrt the x-axis.

What do you mean? We can't mention the 'tangent' in our definition of 'tangent', since that'd be a bit of a circular definition.

I was referring to the gradient of the vertical tangent.

Circle Geometry, explain why in part (c) the triangle is a right angled triangle? (from Cambridge EX 4A Q15 (c))

This is due to the HSC Circle Geometry theorem "line from centre of circle to midpoint of chord is perpendicular to chord". This can be easily proved by proving that those triangles are congruent (use SSS, due to equal radii, common sides, and bisection assumption), corresponding angles in congruent triangles are equal, and then adjacent angles in a straight line are supplementary.

Is chapter 7H rates of change worth doing? Is it in the hsc

Personally, think its worth doing. I have seen related rates questions in past years papers.

EXERCISE 7G Q8.

$8 (a)$
$\frac{dV}{dt}=5000 cm^{3} / min, \ h=60 \ cm$

$\frac{dV}{dt}=2000 \ h \ \frac{dh}{dt}$

$5000=2000 \times 60 \times \frac{dh}{dt}$

$\therefore \frac{dh}{dt}=\frac{1}{24} \frac{cm}{min}$

$\frac{dA}{dt}=2000 \times \frac{dh}{dt}$

$\frac{dA}{dt}=2000 \times \frac{1}{24}$

$=\frac{250}{3} \frac{cm^{2}}{min}$

$\therefore $ The Surface area is increasing at $ \frac{250}{3} \frac{cm^{2}}{min} $ and the height is increasing at $ \frac{1}{24} \frac{cm}{min}$

$Part \ 8 \(b)$

$h=40 cm , \frac{dh}{dt}=0.1 \frac{cm}{min}$

$V=1000h^2$

$\frac{dV}{dt}=2000 \ h \frac{dh}{dt}$

$= 2000 (40) \times 0.1$

$=8000 \frac{cm^3}{min} = 8 \frac{L}{min}$

$\frac{dA}{dt}=2000 \frac{dh}{dt}$

$=2000 \times 0.10= 200 \frac{cm^{2}}{min}$

$\therefore $ The volume increases at a rate of 8 $ \frac{L}{min} $ and the rate at which the Area increases is 200 $ \frac{cm^2}{min}$

$I'm not sure how to go about the 2nd part to of this guys question.$

$1+2^1+2^2+2^3+....+2^n=2^{n+1}-1$

$$ I tried to substitute a positive integer such as 1 on the LHS and RHS but they are not equal.$

$LHS = 2^1= 2 . RHS = 2^{2}-1=3 . $ Is this an example where Induction fails? $$

$\noindent For $n=1$, the LHS should be $1+2$, since the general expression of the LHS starts with a 1 (as it is $1+2+2^2 + \cdots + 2^n$).$
