A particle moves along the curve below. y = sqrt(1 + x^3) As it reaches the point (2, 3), the y-coordinate is increasing at a rate of 14 cm/s. How fast is the x-coordinate of the point changing at that instant?

Respuesta :

Answer:7 cm/s

Explanation:

Given

Particle move along curve

[tex]y=\sqrt{1+x^3}[/tex]

As it reaches the (2,3) its y coordinate is increasing at 14 cm/s

Differentiating y w.r.t time

[tex]\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} t}=\frac{3x^2}{2\sqrt{1+x^3}}\times \frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}[/tex]

Now at (2,3)

[tex]\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} t}=\frac{3\cdot 2^2}{2\sqrt{1+2^3}}\times \frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}[/tex]

[tex]14=\frac{3\times 4}{2\times \sqrt{9}}\times \frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}=7 cm/s[/tex]

The speed at which the x-coordinate of the point is changing at the given instant is; 7 cm/s

What is the instant velocity?

We are given the parametric curve in which the particle moves as;

y = √(1 + x³)

We are told that as it reaches the point (2, 3), the y-coordinate is increasing at a rate of 14 cm/s.

Thus, dy/dt = 14 cm/s

Thus, we differentiate with respect to time;

dy/dt = [3x²/(2√(1 + x³))] * (dx/dt)

Plugging in the coordinate value of x and value of dy/dt, we have;

14 = [3(2)²/(2√(1 + 2³))] * (dx/dt)

14 = (12/6) * (dx/dt)

dx/dt = 14/2

dx/dt = 7 cm/s
