Q. Let x and y be functions of t with y=4πx3. If dtdx=6, what is dtdy when x=31?Write an exact, simplified answer.
Identify Given Information: Identify the given information and the formula to use.Given y=4πx3 and dtdx=6. We need to find dtdy using the chain rule.
Apply Chain Rule: Apply the chain rule to find dtdy. dtdy=dxd(4πx3)⋅dtdx=12πx2⋅dtdx
Substitute Values: Substitute dtdx=6 and x=31 into the equation.dtdy=12π(31)2×6=12π(91)×6=912π×6=8π
