@ganeshie8 do you get this problem? :) attached inside! :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The area is changing at a rate of _____ cm^2 per minute.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

differentiate \(A\) with.respect.to \(t\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\(\large A = 3\theta + 4\sin \theta + \dfrac{1}{2}\sin(2\theta)\) \(\large \dfrac{d}{dt}(A) = ?\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how would i set that up? :/ so dA/dt ? :/

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yes, and keep in mind \(\theta\) itself is a function of \(t\), so u need to use chain rule

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ermm 3+4sin+1/2sin ? :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not quite sure how to differentiate this one :(

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\(\large A = 3\theta + 4\sin \theta + \dfrac{1}{2}\sin(2\theta)\) \(\large \dfrac{d}{dt}(A) = 3 \dfrac{d\theta}{dt} + 4\cos\theta \dfrac{d\theta}{dt} + \cos(2\theta) \dfrac{d\theta}{dt}\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Notice that the \(\dfrac{d\theta}{dt}\) sticks in everytime u differentiate \(\theta\) with.respect.to \(t\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Next plugin the given values and evaluate rate of change of Area : \(\dfrac{d}{dt}(A)\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay, and in this case, would dø/dt be 0.7 ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yup !

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

and \(\theta = \dfrac{\pi}{2}\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

simply plug them in and evaluate

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay so we get this? 5.895055529? :/

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

doesnt look right. try again
