he length of a rectangle is increasing at a rate of 3 cm/s and its width is increasing at a rate of 9 cm/s. When the length is 13 cm and the width is 5 cm, how fast is the area of the rectangle increasing?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The area of the rectangle increases are the rate of 132 cm²/s when the length is 13 cm and the width is 5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the rectange is given by the following formula:

[tex]A = l*w[/tex]

In which A is the area, measured in cm², l is the lenght and w is the width, both measured in cm.

The length of a rectangle is increasing at a rate of 3 cm/s and its width is increasing at a rate of 9 cm/s.

This means that [tex]\frac{dl}{dt} = 3, \frac{dw}{dt} = 9[/tex]

When the length is 13 cm and the width is 5 cm, how fast is the area of the rectangle increasing?

We have to find [tex]\frac{dA}{dt}[/tex] when [tex]l = 13, w = 5[/tex]

Applying implicit differentitiation:

We have three variables(A, l, w). So

[tex]A = l*w[/tex]

[tex]\frac{dA}{dt} = l\frac{dw}{dt} + \frac{dl}{dt}w[/tex]

[tex]\frac{dA}{dt} = 13*9 + 3*5[/tex]

[tex]\frac{dA}{dt} = 132[/tex]

The area of the rectangle increases are the rate of 132 cm²/s when the length is 13 cm and the width is 5 cm
