the answer for this question is (a)(-8,-4)
Let us call the rate as velocity. Now the velocities of the plane and of the wind are:

and

:
Now
case 1:

case 2:

from equation 2:

substitute in equation 1:

Which is your velocity in still air (without wind)
Substituting back in:

you get:

which is the wind velocity
Answer:
dy/dt = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
y = 2x^3 -4x
dy/dt = 2 * 3x^2 dx/dt -4 dx/dt
dy/dt = 6x^2 dx/dt - 4 dx/dt
substitute dx/dt =4 and x=1
dy/dt = 6 * (1)^2 * 4 - 4(4)
dy/dt = 24-16
dy/dt = 8
Remember to be mindful of the signs when adding and subtracting. The answer is:11w^4-5w^2z^2-4z^4
