2. Natasha deposited $1 500 in a bank paying an annual interest rate of 4.3%,
compounded quarterly. Find the balance after 6 years. [3]
3. Water is being poured into a cone, with its vertex pointing downwards. This is shown
in the diagram below. The cone is initially empty and water is poured in at a rate of
25cm3 s−1 . Find the rate at which the depth of the liquid is increasing after 35 seconds.

4. Ink is dropped on to bottling paper forming a circular stain which increases in area at a
rate of 2.5cm2 /s. Find the rate at which the radius is changing when the area of the
stain is 25𝜋cm2 . [5]
5. A container in the form of a right circular cone of height 16 cm and the base radius 4
cm is held vertex downward and filled with water. If water leaks out from the vertex at
a rate of 4 cm3 /s, find the rate of change of the depth of water in the cone when half of
the water has leaked out. [6]
