Given that y=2x+1
x and y are functions of t.
a) dxdt=3
To find dydt3 when x=4
y=2x+1
dydt=dydxdxdt
=122x+12dxdt
=12x+13
=324+1 at x=4
=39
=33
=1
So dydt=1 at x=4

b) Given that dydt=5. To find dxdt when x=12
y=2x+1
y2=2x+1 (On squaring both sides)
x=12(y21)
dxdt=12(2y)=y
dxdt=dxdydydt
=ydydt
=55 (when x=12 we get y=212+1=25=5)
=25
So dxdt=25
