Q. Let xx and yy be functions of tt with y=16x2+4x+3y = 16x^2 + 4x + 3. If dxdt=116\frac{dx}{dt} = \frac{1}{16}, what is dydt\frac{dy}{dt} when x=4x = 4?\newlineWrite an exact, simplified answer.
  1. Identify Function: Identify the function and differentiate it with respect to xx. Using the chain rule, differentiate y=16x2+4x+3y = 16x^2 + 4x + 3 with respect to xx. dydx=32x+4\frac{dy}{dx} = 32x + 4
  2. Differentiate with Chain Rule: Substitute the value of dxdt\frac{dx}{dt} into the equation.\newlineGiven dxdt=116\frac{dx}{dt} = \frac{1}{16}, use the chain rule to find dydt\frac{dy}{dt}.\newlinedydt=dydxdxdt=(32x+4)(116)\frac{dy}{dt} = \frac{dy}{dx} \cdot \frac{dx}{dt} = (32x + 4) \cdot \left(\frac{1}{16}\right)
  3. Substitute dxdt\frac{dx}{dt}: Substitute x=4x = 4 into the equation to find dydt\frac{dy}{dt} when x=4x = 4.
    dydt=(324+4)(116)\frac{dy}{dt} = (32\cdot4 + 4) \cdot (\frac{1}{16})
    dydt=(128+4)(116)\frac{dy}{dt} = (128 + 4) \cdot (\frac{1}{16})
    dydt=132(116)\frac{dy}{dt} = 132 \cdot (\frac{1}{16})
    dydt=8.25\frac{dy}{dt} = 8.25
