A point is moving on y=4-2 x^2 . The x -coordinate of the point is decreasing at the rate of 5 units/second. Then, the rate at which y coordinate of the point is changing when the point is at (1,2) is
Options
- A5 unit/s
- B10 unit/s
- C15 unit/s
- D20 unit/s
Correct answer
D. 20 unit/s
Step-by-step solution
Given equation of curve is y=4-2 x^2 On differentiating both sides w.r.t. t , we get aligned d y d t & =-4 x d x d t d x d t & =-5, point (1,2) d y d t & =-4(1)(-5)=20 unit/s aligned
