,
find how fast the resistance changes when 
.
2) A firm found that its profit was p dollars for the production of x tons per
week of a product according to the function.
Determine the rate of change of profit if production is increasing such that
when x=4.0 tons/week.
3) The relation between the voltage V which produces a current I in a wire of
radius r is 
If the current increases at the rate of 0.02 A/s in a wire of 0.04 inch radius,
find the rate at which the voltage is increasing.(Hint: The radius of the wire
is a constant, substitute the value in first.)
