if y^3=16x^2 determine dx/dt when x=4 and dy/dt=1
i got dy/dx= 32x/3y^2, not sure if thats right
seems cool to me
\[\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{\frac{dy}{dt} }{\frac{dx}{dt}}\]
\[\frac{\partial y}{\partial t} \cdot \frac{\partial y}{\partial x} =\frac{\partial y}{\partial x}\cdot \frac{\partial x}{\partial t}\]
h yeah, same kind of notation.
\[\frac{dx}{dt} \frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{dy}{dt} \\ \text{solve for } \frac{dx}{dt}\]
so what would i do for the next step?
Oh you know what, let's figure out y first.
Because that is the variable that is missing.
\[y^3 = 16x^2~ , ~ x=4\]\[y^3=16 \cdot (4)^2\]\[y^3 = 2^4 \cdot 2^4\]\[y^3 = 2^8\]\[y=\sqrt[3]{2^8}=2^{8/3}\]
Are you with me so far?
yea
now we apply this:\[\frac{\partial y}{\partial t} \cdot \frac{\partial y}{\partial x} =\frac{\partial y}{\partial x}\cdot \frac{\partial x}{\partial t}\]
wait, i got 256^1/3
so : \[3y^2 \cdot y' = 32x \cdot x'\]Now just solve for x'.\[x' = \frac{3y^2y'}{32x}\]\[x'= \frac{3\left(2^{8/3}\right)^2 \cdot (1)}{32(4)}\]
i got .118118, ?
\[x'= \frac{3(32(2^{1/3}))}{128} = \frac{96(2^{1/3})}{128} = \frac{3(2^{1/3})}{4}\]
got it, its .944941
Is that one of your answer choices?
thank you soo much :)
yea
Awesome!! :)
Oh, on a side now. How to simplify \(2^{8/3})^2\)
Make sure your base is \(\ge 0\)
Then multiply your outer power \(2\) into the power of your base: \(8/3\)
That becomes : \(2^{16/3}\)
then 32(2^(1/3))
Uhh... then by thinking of how you can separate \(16/3\) into an easier,simpler fraction, You can separate it like so: \(2^{15/3} \cdot 2^{1/3}\). 15/3 can be simpplied to 5. \(\implies 2^5 \cdot 2^{1/3}\)
:) Hope that helps!
yeah it does, a lot lol thanks
pulling an all nighter for finals lol smh
Yeah same here.
Supposed t be studying Chemistry, but I would rather study math. Haha.
haha im suppose to be reviewing philosophy but math is my main focus
/highfive! Good luck with your exams :)
you too :)
