Given the relationship x2 + 3y2 =12, with y > 0 and dx, dt = 2 units/min., find the value of dy, dt at the instant y = 1 unit

matrenka [14]

$\bf x^2+3y^2=12\implies \stackrel{chain~rule}{2x\cfrac{dx}{dt}}+3 \stackrel{chain~rule}{\left(2y\cfrac{dy}{dt}\right)}=0
\\\\\\
2x\cfrac{dx}{dt}+6y\cfrac{dy}{dt}=0
\implies 
6y\cfrac{dy}{dt}=-2x\cfrac{dx}{dt}\implies \cfrac{dy}{dt}=\cfrac{-2x\frac{dx}{dt}}{
6y\frac{dy}{dt}}
\\\\\\
\boxed{\cfrac{dy}{dt}=-\cfrac{x\frac{dx}{dt}}{3y}}\\\\
-------------------------------$

$\bf \textit{now, when y = 1, what is \underline{x}?}\qquad x^2+3y^2=12\implies x^2+3(1)^2=12
\\\\\\
x^2=9\implies x=\sqrt{9}\implies x=3\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\begin{cases}
y=1\\
x=3\\
\frac{dx}{dt}=2
\end{cases}\implies \cfrac{dy}{dt}=-\cfrac{3\cdot 2}{3\cdot 1}\implies \cfrac{dy}{dt}=-2$

A boy rides his bike at a speed of 28 miles per hour. How

sergejj [24]

Answer:

About 4 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's set up a proportion and cross multiply.

$\frac{28 miles}{1 hour} = \frac{120 miles}{x}$

Cross multiply.

120 = 28x

Divide by 28 on both sides.

= 4.28571428571

Round this to the nearest whole number, which is just 4. The answer is about 4 hours.

2/3 gas tank cuts 3 lawns how many does 1 gas tank cut

postnew [5]

(2/3) / 3 = 1/x...2/3 to 3 lawns = 1 to x lawns
cross multiply
(2/3)(x) = (3)(1)
2/3x = 3
x = 3 * 3/2
x = 9/2 or 4 1/2 lawns can be cut with a full tank of gas
