Capitolo 3, Problema 3.8.10

If r + s² + v³ = 12, dr/dt = 4, and ds/dt = –3, find dv/dt when r = 3 and s = 1.

Guida verificata passo dopo passo
1
Start by differentiating the given equation with respect to time t: \( \frac{d}{dt}(r + s^2 + v^3) = \frac{d}{dt}(12) \).
Apply the chain rule to differentiate each term: \( \frac{dr}{dt} + 2s \frac{ds}{dt} + 3v^2 \frac{dv}{dt} = 0 \).
Substitute the given values into the differentiated equation: \( 4 + 2(1)(-3) + 3v^2 \frac{dv}{dt} = 0 \).
Simplify the equation: \( 4 - 6 + 3v^2 \frac{dv}{dt} = 0 \), which simplifies to \( -2 + 3v^2 \frac{dv}{dt} = 0 \).
Solve for \( \frac{dv}{dt} \) by isolating it: \( 3v^2 \frac{dv}{dt} = 2 \), then \( \frac{dv}{dt} = \frac{2}{3v^2} \). Substitute the value of v when r = 3 and s = 1 to find \( \frac{dv}{dt} \).

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Implicit Differentiation

Implicit differentiation is a technique used to find the derivative of a function when it is not explicitly solved for one variable in terms of another. In this problem, the equation r + s² + v³ = 12 involves multiple variables, and we need to differentiate with respect to time t to find the rate of change of v, denoted as dv/dt.

Chain Rule

The chain rule is a fundamental principle in calculus used to differentiate composite functions. It is essential here because we are dealing with functions of multiple variables that change with respect to time. For instance, when differentiating s² with respect to t, we apply the chain rule: d(s²)/dt = 2s * (ds/dt).

Substitution of Known Values

After differentiating the equation, substituting known values is crucial to solve for the unknown rate of change. In this problem, we substitute r = 3, s = 1, dr/dt = 4, and ds/dt = -3 into the differentiated equation to find dv/dt. This step simplifies the equation, allowing us to isolate and solve for the desired rate.
