denotes the water level, then the volume of water is given by V =пу2 / 2. Suppose that the height of the paraboloid is 10 inches. Let a denote the rate of change of water level when y water level when y = 1 inch and let b denote the rate of change of water level when y= 5 inches. Without computing anything, do you suspect that a or b is greater?
