Vedclass · Answer

(A) Given that the length $x$ is decreasing at the rate of $5 	ext{ cm/min}$,we have $\frac{dx}{dt} = -5 	ext{ cm/min}$.Given that the width $y$ is increasing at the rate of $4 	ext{ cm/min}$,we have $\frac{dy}{dt} = 4 	ext{ cm/min}$.The perimeter $P$ of a rectangle is given by the formula $P = 2(x + y)$.To find the rate of change of the perimeter with respect to time $t$,we differentiate $P$ with respect to $t$:$\frac{dP}{dt} = 2 \left( \frac{dx}{dt} + \frac{dy}{dt} ight)$.Substituting the given values:$\frac{dP}{dt} = 2(-5 + 4) = 2(-1) = -2 	ext{ cm/min}$.Thus,the perimeter is decreasing at the rate of $2 	ext{ cm/min}$.

The length $x$ of a rectangle is decreasing at the rate of $5 \text{ cm/min}$ and the width $y$ is increasing at the rate of $4 \text{ cm/min}$. When $x = 8 \text{ cm}$ and $y = 6 \text{ cm}$,find the rate of change of the perimeter.
