A rectangle initially has width 7 meters and length 10 meters and is expanding so that the area increases at a rate of 8 square meters per hour. If the width increases by 40 centimeters per hour how quickly does the length increase initially

Respuesta :

Answer:

The length of rectangular is increasing at a rate 0.5714 meters per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Initial dimensions of rectangular box:

Length,l = 10 m

Width,w = 7 m

[tex]\dfrac{dA}{dt} = 8\text{ square meters per hour}\\\\\dfrac{dw}{dt} = 40\text{ centimeters per hour} =0.4\text{ meters per hour}[/tex]

We have to find the rate of increase of length.

Area of rectangle =

[tex]A = l\times w[/tex]

Differentiating we get,

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

Putting values, we get,

[tex]8 = \dfrac{dl}{dt}(7) + (0.4)(10)\\\\\dfrac{dl}{dt}(7) = 8 -4\\\\\dfrac{dl}{dt} \approx 0.5714[/tex]

Thus, the length of rectangular is increasing at a rate 0.5714 meters per hour.

Answer:  The length increase [tex]\frac{4}{7}[/tex] meter per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Length = l = 10 m

Width = w = 7 m

The area increases at a rate of 8 square meters per hour. So, [tex]\frac{dA}{dt}=8[/tex].

The width increases by 40 centimeters per hour = 0.4 meter per hour. So, [tex]\frac{dw}{dt}=0.4[/tex].

[tex]A=L*w\\\frac{dA}{dt}=\frac{dL}{dt}\cdot w+L\cdot\frac{dw}{dt}\\8=\frac{dL}{dt}\cdot7+10\left(0.4\right)\\8=7\frac{dL}{dt}+4\\\frac{dL}{dt}=\frac{4}{7}[/tex]
