Basic Math

Boyle's Law states that when a sample of gas iscompressed at a constant temperature, the pressure P and volume Vsatisfy the equation PV = C, where C is a constant. Suppose that ata certain instant the volume is 900 cm3 , the pressure is 160 kPa,and the pressure is increasing at a rate of 40 kPa/min. At whatrate is the volume decreasing at this instant?

---
Step 1: Write all the rates in the problem (including the one youare trying to find) as
derivatives.

---
Step 2: Identify the dependent variables in the derivatives. Findan equation relating
the dependent variables in the derivatives. You will often need aformula from
geometry for this.

----
Step 3: Differentiate both sides of the equation from Step 2 withrespect to the
independent variable time. The result will be an equation relatingthe rates (relating the
derivatives).

--
Step 4: Substitute the values that you are given in the problem forthe derivatives and
the variables and solve for the derivative for which the questionis asking.
