Pre-Test SAT 3 Exercises

Question 1

A woman launches her boat from point A on a bank of a straight river,


3 km wide, and wants to reach point B, 8 km downstream on the opposite bank, as
quickly as possible (see the Figure above). She could row her boat directly across the river to
point C and then run to B, or she could row directly to B, or she could row to some
point D between C and B and then run to B. If she can row 6 km/h and run 8 km/h,
where should she land to reach B as soon as possible? (We assume that the speed of the
water is negligible compared with the speed at which the woman rows.)

Find the rate of change of the volume when the radius is 12 cm.

Question 5
A particle moves in a straight line along the x-axis with position given by x (t ) = 3 + sin 2t cm
