Q. Let xx and yy be functions of tt with y=sinxy = \sin x. If dxdt=3\frac{dx}{dt} = 3, what is dydt\frac{dy}{dt} when x=πx = \pi?\newlineWrite an exact, simplified answer.
  1. Identify Relationship: Identify the relationship and differentiate using the chain rule.\newlineGiven y=sin(x)y = \sin(x) and dxdt=3\frac{dx}{dt} = 3, use the chain rule to find dydt\frac{dy}{dt}.\newlinedydt=(dydx)(dxdt)\frac{dy}{dt} = \left(\frac{dy}{dx}\right) \cdot \left(\frac{dx}{dt}\right)\newlinedydx=cos(x)\frac{dy}{dx} = \cos(x) because the derivative of sin(x)\sin(x) is cos(x)\cos(x).\newlineSubstitute dxdt=3\frac{dx}{dt} = 3 into the equation.\newlinedydt=cos(x)3\frac{dy}{dt} = \cos(x) \cdot 3
  2. Use Chain Rule: Substitute the value of xx to find dydt\frac{dy}{dt} when x=πx = \pi. At x=πx = \pi, cos(π)=1\cos(\pi) = -1. So, dydt=1×3=3\frac{dy}{dt} = -1 \times 3 = -3
