Q. Let xx and yy be functions of tt with y=πx2y = \pi x^2. If dxdt=18\frac{dx}{dt} = -\frac{1}{8}, what is dydt\frac{dy}{dt} when x=16x = 16?\newlineWrite an exact, simplified answer.
  1. Identify Relationship: Identify the relationship and differentiate implicitly.\newlineGiven y=πx2y = \pi x^2, differentiate both sides with respect to tt.\newlinedydt=2πx(dxdt)\frac{dy}{dt} = 2\pi x\left(\frac{dx}{dt}\right)
  2. Differentiate Implicitly: Substitute the values of dxdt\frac{dx}{dt} and xx.\newlinedxdt=18\frac{dx}{dt} = -\frac{1}{8} and x=16x = 16.\newlinedydt=2π(16)(18)\frac{dy}{dt} = 2\pi(16)(-\frac{1}{8})
  3. Substitute Values: Simplify the expression to find dydt\frac{dy}{dt}.dydt=2π(16)(18)=4π\frac{dy}{dt} = 2\pi(16)(-\frac{1}{8}) = -4\pi
