I got a strange question on here:
The power P in a circuit is
P = RI^2, where R is the resistance and I is the current. Find dP/dt at
t = 1/16 if R = 3,000 watts and I varies according to I = sin(4pi(t))
Now my question is is it asking to divide the derivative of p by the derivative of t or to find the derivative of p in respect to derivative t?

in respect to

fibonaccichick666 · Answer

that's just standard notation for that, just like you can have dx/dt or dy/dt

fibonaccichick666 · Answer

or dy/dx

fibonaccichick666 · Answer

and with respect to t not the derivative of t

fibonaccichick666 · Answer

aka, find the derivative of power
