Problem

Assume that $x=x(t)$ and $y=y(t)$. Let $y=x^{3}+6$ and $\frac{d x}{d t}=2$ when $x=1$. Find $\frac{d y}{d t}$ when $x=1$

Solution

Step 1 :Given that \(y=x^{3}+6\) and \(\frac{d x}{d t}=2\) when \(x=1\).

Step 2 :We need to find \(\frac{d y}{d t}\) when \(x=1\).

Step 3 :First, we can find the derivative of \(y\) with respect to \(x\), denoted as \(\frac{d y}{d x}\).

Step 4 :By applying the power rule, we get \(\frac{d y}{d x}=3x^{2}\).

Step 5 :Then, we can use the chain rule to find \(\frac{d y}{d t}\). The chain rule states that \(\frac{d y}{d t}=\frac{d y}{d x} \cdot \frac{d x}{d t}\).

Step 6 :Substitute \(\frac{d y}{d x}=3x^{2}\) and \(\frac{d x}{d t}=2\) into the equation, we get \(\frac{d y}{d t}=3x^{2} \cdot 2\).

Step 7 :Finally, substitute \(x=1\) into the equation, we get \(\frac{d y}{d t}=3 \cdot 1^{2} \cdot 2\).

Step 8 :So, \(\frac{d y}{d t}=6\) when \(x=1\).

Step 9 :\(\boxed{6}\) is the final answer.
