Let x and y be functions of t with y = 4/3 π x^3. If dx/dt = 1/8, what is dy/dt when x = 3? Write an exact, simplified answer. ______

Identify Relationship: Identify the relationship and differentiate implicitly. Given y = (4/3)πx^3, differentiate both sides with respect to t. Using the chain rule, dy/dt = (4/3)π * 3x^2 * dx/dt.Differentiate Implicitly: Substitute the given values. Substitute x = 3 and dx/dt = 1/8 into dy/dt = 4πx^2 * (1/8). dy/dt = 4π(3^2) * (1/8).Apply Chain Rule: Simplify the expression. dy/dt = 4π(9) * (1/8) = 36π * (1/8) = 4.5π.

Q. Let

x

and

y

be functions of

t

with

y = \frac{4}{3} \pi x^3

. If

\frac{dx}{dt} = \frac{1}{8}

, what is

\frac{dy}{dt}

when

x = 3

\newline

Write an exact, simplified answer.

Identify Relationship: Identify the relationship and differentiate implicitly. $\newline$ Given $y = \frac{4}{3}\pi x^3$ , differentiate both sides with respect to $t$ . $\newline$ Using the chain rule, $\frac{dy}{dt} = \frac{4}{3}\pi \cdot 3x^2 \cdot \frac{dx}{dt}$ .
Differentiate Implicitly: Substitute the given values. $\newline$ Substitute $x = 3$ and $\frac{dx}{dt} = \frac{1}{8}$ into $\frac{dy}{dt} = 4\pi x^2 \times \frac{1}{8}$ . $\newline$ $\frac{dy}{dt} = 4\pi(3^2) \times \frac{1}{8}$ .
Apply Chain Rule: Simplify the expression. $\newline$ $\frac{dy}{dt} = 4\pi(9) \times \frac{1}{8} = 36\pi \times \frac{1}{8} = 4.5\pi$ .
