The length of a rectangle is increasing at a rate of 8cm/s8cm/s and its width is increasing at a rate of 5cm/s5cm/s. When the length is 20cm20cm and the width is 25cm,25cm, how fast is the area of the rectangle increasing

Respuesta :

Answer:

The area of the given rectangle increasing when l=20cm and w=25 cm by fast is [tex]300cm^2 per s[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the length of a rectangle is increasing at a rate of 8cm per s and its width is increasing at a rate of 5cm per s.

To find the  how fast is the area of the rectangle increasing when the length is 20 cm and the width is 25 cm:

Let l be the Length of Rectangle (cm)

Let w  be the Width of Rectangle (cm)

Let A  be the Area of Rectangle ([tex]cm^2[/tex])

Let t  be the Time (s)

From the given we can write

cm per s and  

cm per s

The formula for Area of the rectangle is:

A=lw  square units

Differentiating with respect to t

[tex]\frac{dA}{dt}=(l)(\frac{dw}{dt})+(\frac{dl}{dt})(w)[/tex]  ( by using the product rule formula [tex]\frac{d(uv)}{dx}=u(\frac{dv}{dx})+\frac{du}{dx}(v)[/tex])

[tex]=l(5)+8(w)[/tex]

when l=20 and w=25

[tex]=(20)(5)+8(25)[/tex]

[tex]=100+200[/tex]

[tex]=300[/tex]

∴  [tex]\frac{dA}{dx}=300 cm^2 per s[/tex]

∴ the area of the rectangle increasing by fast is [tex]300cm^2 per s[/tex]
