Question

If f and g are functions of time, and at time t = 3, f equals 8 and is rising at a rate of 4 units per second, and g equals 6 and is rising at a rate of 8 units per second, then f/g equals 8/6 and is changing at a rate of __ units per second

Answer 1

i got what f/g is but not the rate of change, please help

Answer 2

If I understand the question correctly, wouldn't the rate of change of f/g be 4/8 or 1/2 units/sec?

Answer 3

Or am I reading this question incorrectly?

Answer 4

4/9

Answer 5

@Easyaspi314 f/g equals 8/6, thats the answer that computer said was correct.

Answer 6

@cjkmbm did you get that for units per second?

Answer 7

Yeah I just took the 8/6 and divided it by the time 3. Probably incorrect. Just a shot in the dark.

Answer 8

lol anyone know how to do this correctly?

Answer 9

3/2

Answer 10

@cjkmbm you sure man?

Answer 11

I'm really not. f/g is 8/4 and g/f is 6/8. Reduced they are 2 and 1/2 so multiplied they may actually give you 1. You may want to depend on someone else for this. I'm sorry for wasting your time. It's way past my bedtime. I apologize! :(

Answer 12

If this isn't answered by tomorrow I will make it my mission to find a formula.

Answer 13

I really dont think that the question is worded clearly. There is some abiguity as to the interpretation.
