If the sides of a square are decreasing at the rate of \(1.5~cm/s\) the rate of decrease of its perimeter is:
(A) \(1.5~cm/s\)
(B) \(6~cm/s\)
(C) \(3~cm/s\)
(D) \(2.25~cm/s\)
Key:
Sol:

Let the side of the square be $s$.
The perimeter of the square is $P = 4s$.
We are given that the rate of decrease of the side is $\frac{ds}{dt} = -1.5~cm/s$.
We need to find the rate of decrease of its perimeter, which is $\frac{dP}{dt}$.
Differentiate the perimeter equation with respect to time $t$:
$\frac{dP}{dt} = \frac{d}{dt}(4s)$
$\frac{dP}{dt} = 4 \frac{ds}{dt}$
Substitute the given value of $\frac{ds}{dt}$:
$\frac{dP}{dt} = 4 (-1.5~cm/s)$
$\frac{dP}{dt} = -6~cm/s$
The rate of decrease of its perimeter is $6~cm/s$.
The final answer is $\boxed{6~cm/s}$.

The function \(f(x)=kx-\sin~x\) is strictly increasing for
(A) \(k\gt1\)
(B) \(k\lt1\)
(C) \(k\gt-1\)
(D) \(k\lt-1\)
Key:

The solution proceeds as follows:
**Step 1: Find the derivative of the function.**
The derivative of \(f(x) = kx - \sin~x\) is \(f'(x) = k - \cos~x\).
**Step 2: Determine the condition for a strictly increasing function.**
For a function to be strictly increasing, its derivative must be strictly positive, i.e., \(f'(x) > 0\).
**Step 3: Apply the condition to the derivative.**
We need \(k - \cos~x > 0\) for all \(x\). This means \(k > \cos~x\) for all \(x\).
**Step 4: Find the maximum value of $\cos~x$.**
The maximum value of $\cos~x$ is 1.
**Step 5: Determine the condition for $k$.**
For \(k > \cos~x\) to hold for all \(x\), \(k\) must be greater than the maximum value of $\cos~x$. Therefore, \(k > 1\).
**Final Answer:**
The function \(f(x)=kx-\sin~x\) is strictly increasing for \(k\gt1\).
The final answer is $\boxed{k\gt1}$.

To determine the correct statement about the function $f(x) = -2x^8$, we can analyze its first derivative to find critical points and intervals of increase/decrease.
1. **Calculate the first derivative:**
$$f'(x) = \frac{d}{dx}(-2x^8) = -16x^7$$
2. **Find critical points:**
Set $f'(x) = 0$:
$$-16x^7 = 0 \implies x^7 = 0 \implies x = 0$$
The only critical point is $x=0$.
3. **Analyze the sign of $f'(x)$:**
* For $x < 0$, $x^7 < 0$, so $f'(x) = -16(\text{negative number}) > 0$. This means $f(x)$ is increasing for $x < 0$.
* For $x > 0$, $x^7 > 0$, so $f'(x) = -16(\text{positive number}) < 0$. This means $f(x)$ is decreasing for $x > 0$.
4. **Identify the extremum:**
Since $f'(x)$ changes from positive to negative at $x=0$, there is a local maximum at $x=0$. The value of the function at this point is $f(0) = -2(0)^8 = 0$.
Furthermore, for any $x \neq 0$, $x^8 > 0$, so $-2x^8 < 0$. Since $f(0) = 0$ and $f(x) < 0$ for all other $x$, $(0,0)$ is a global maximum.
The correct statement is:
The function $f(x)$ has a global maximum at $x=0$.
