\][/tex]

(Simplify your answer.)



Answer :

Certainly! Let's determine the rate of change [tex]\(\frac{dA}{dt}\)[/tex] at the moment when [tex]\(A = 3\)[/tex] and [tex]\(\frac{dB}{dt} = 1\)[/tex] for the given equation:

[tex]\[ A^3 + B^3 = 91 \][/tex]

First, we start by differentiating both sides of the equation with respect to time [tex]\(t\)[/tex]. Since [tex]\(A\)[/tex] and [tex]\(B\)[/tex] are functions of [tex]\(t\)[/tex], we'll use implicit differentiation.

The given equation is:

[tex]\[ A^3 + B^3 = 91 \][/tex]

Differentiating both sides with respect to [tex]\(t\)[/tex], we get:

[tex]\[ \frac{d}{dt}(A^3 + B^3) = \frac{d}{dt}(91) \][/tex]

On the left side, apply the chain rule. Differentiating [tex]\(A^3\)[/tex] and [tex]\(B^3\)[/tex] with respect to [tex]\(t\)[/tex] gives:

[tex]\[ 3A^2 \frac{dA}{dt} + 3B^2 \frac{dB}{dt} = 0 \][/tex]

We can simplify this to:

[tex]\[ 3A^2 \frac{dA}{dt} + 3B^2 \frac{dB}{dt} = 0 \][/tex]

Divide the entire equation by 3:

[tex]\[ A^2 \frac{dA}{dt} + B^2 \frac{dB}{dt} = 0 \][/tex]

Now, we substitute the given values [tex]\(A = 3\)[/tex] and [tex]\(\frac{dB}{dt} = 1\)[/tex] into the equation:

[tex]\[ (3)^2 \frac{dA}{dt} + B^2 (1) = 0 \][/tex]

This simplifies to:

[tex]\[ 9 \frac{dA}{dt} + B^2 = 0 \][/tex]

Solving for [tex]\(\frac{dA}{dt}\)[/tex], we obtain:

[tex]\[ 9 \frac{dA}{dt} = -B^2 \][/tex]

[tex]\[ \frac{dA}{dt} = -\frac{B^2}{9} \][/tex]

So the rate of change [tex]\(\frac{dA}{dt}\)[/tex] at the moment when [tex]\(A = 3\)[/tex] and [tex]\(\frac{dB}{dt} = 1\)[/tex] is:

[tex]\[ \frac{dA}{dt} = -\frac{B^2}{9} \][/tex]
