Let x and y be functions of t with y = 2x^3 + 4x^2 + 3. If dx/dt = 1/3, what is dy/dt when x = 4? Write an exact, simplified answer. ______

Identify Function: Identify the function and differentiate it with respect to x. Given y = 2x^3 + 4x^2 + 3, differentiate each term with respect to x. dy/dx = 6x^2 + 8x Apply Chain Rule: Apply the chain rule to find dy/dt. Using dy/dt = (dy/dx) * (dx/dt), substitute dx/dt = 1/3. dy/dt = (6x^2 + 8x) * (1/3) Substitute x = 4: Substitute x = 4 into the expression for dy/dt. dy/dt = (6*(4)^2 + 8*4) * (1/3) dy/dt = (6*16 + 32) * (1/3) dy/dt = (96 + 32) * (1/3) dy/dt = 128 * (1/3) dy/dt = 42.67

Q. Let

x

and

y

be functions of

t

with

y = 2x^3 + 4x^2 + 3

. If

\frac{dx}{dt} = \frac{1}{3}

, what is

\frac{dy}{dt}

when

x = 4

\newline

Write an exact, simplified answer.

Identify Function: Identify the function and differentiate it with respect to $x$ . Given $y = 2x^3 + 4x^2 + 3$ , differentiate each term with respect to $x$ . $\frac{dy}{dx} = 6x^2 + 8x$
Apply Chain Rule: Apply the chain rule to find $\frac{dy}{dt}$ . Using $\frac{dy}{dt} = \left(\frac{dy}{dx}\right) \cdot \left(\frac{dx}{dt}\right)$ , substitute $\frac{dx}{dt} = \frac{1}{3}$ . $\frac{dy}{dt} = \left(6x^2 + 8x\right) \cdot \left(\frac{1}{3}\right)$
Substitute $x = 4$ : Substitute $x = 4$ into the expression for $\frac{dy}{dt}$ .
$\frac{dy}{dt} = (6*(4)^2 + 8*4) * (\frac{1}{3})$
$\frac{dy}{dt} = (6*16 + 32) * (\frac{1}{3})$
$\frac{dy}{dt} = (96 + 32) * (\frac{1}{3})$
$\frac{dy}{dt} = 128 * (\frac{1}{3})$
$\frac{dy}{dt} = 42.67$
