From the definition of Bulk Modulus $K$:
$\frac{\Delta V}{V} = \frac{P}{K}$ (Volume strain due to pressure)
From thermal expansion, the increase in volume is:
$\frac{\Delta V}{V} = \gamma \Delta T = 3\alpha \Delta T$
To restore the original size, the thermal expansion must equal the pressure compression:
$3\alpha \Delta T = \frac{P}{K} \implies \Delta T = \frac{P}{3\alpha K}$
Which of the following is not a standard assumption in cost-volume-profit (CVP) analysis?
In CVP, Total Fixed Costs are assumed to be constant, which means Fixed Cost per unit actually changes (decreases) as volume increases. Thus, assuming unit fixed cost is constant is incorrect.
Find the set $K$ of all real $x$ where $f(x)=\sin|x|-|x|+2(x-\pi)\cos|x|$ is not differentiable.
Check $x=0$: Write $h(x)=\sin|x|-|x|$. For $x>0$: $h(x)=\sin x-x$, $h'(x)=\cos x-1$. For $x<0$: $h(x)=-\sin x+x$, $h'(x)=-\cos x+1$. At $x=0$: left limit $=0$, right limit $=0$ — differentiable.
The term $2(x-\pi)\cos|x|$ is clearly differentiable everywhere (product of smooth functions, since $\cos|x|$ is even and smooth).
At $x=\pi$: $\cos|\pi|=\cos\pi=-1$, and all parts are smooth for $x>0$.
Therefore $f$ is differentiable everywhere and $K=\boldsymbol{\emptyset}$.
