A hint to get started
Combine a leaking cone with trapezium optimisation
(a) A factory produces disposable cups in the shape of inverted right cones of radius cm and height cm. For a quality check, the supervisor fills one cup completely with water. Water leaks from its vertex at a constant . Find the exact rate at which the water level is decreasing when its depth is cm. marks
The volume of a cone of base radius and height is .
(b) Trapezium has height cm and cm. Points are the feet of the perpendiculars from to . Given , where :
(i) Show that its area is . marks
(ii) Hence use differentiation to find its maximum area in exact form. You do not need to verify that it is a maximum. marks
