Answer

dydt=608 when x=19.

Steps

Step 1 :Given the function y=4x21, we can differentiate it with respect to x to get dydx=8x.

Step 2 :We know that dydt=dydxdxdt.

Step 3 :We are given that dxdt=4 when x=19.

Step 4 :Substitute these values into the equation to find dydt: dydt=8xdxdt=8194=608.

Step 5 :dydt=608 when x=19.
