Question Part 1 of 3 A bug is moving along the right side of the parabola \( y=x^{2} \) at a rate such that its distance from the origin is 6 of 6 pare increasing at \( 5 \mathrm{~cm} / \mathrm{min} \). a. At what rate is the x -coordinate of the bug increasing when the bug is at the point \( (6,36) \) ? b. Use the equation \( y=\mathrm{x}^{2} \) to find an equation relating \( \frac{\mathrm{dy}}{\mathrm{dt}} \) to \( \frac{\mathrm{dx}}{\mathrm{dt}} \). c. At what rate is the y -coordinate of the bug increasing when the bug is at the point \( (6,36) \) ?

To solve the problem, we will break it down into the three parts as requested. ### Part a We need to find the rate at which the x-coordinate of the bug is increasing when the bug is at the point \( (6, 36) \). 1. **Distance from the origin**: The distance \( D \) from the origin to the point \( (x, y) \) is given by: \[ D = \sqrt{x^2 + y^2} \] Given that the distance is 6 cm and is increasing at a rate of \( \frac{dD}{dt} = 5 \) cm/min, we can differentiate \( D \) with respect to time \( t \): \[ \frac{dD}{dt} = \frac{1}{2\sqrt{x^2 + y^2}} \cdot (2x \frac{dx}{dt} + 2y \frac{dy}{dt}) \] Simplifying, we have: \[ \frac{dD}{dt} = \frac{x \frac{dx}{dt} + y \frac{dy}{dt}}{\sqrt{x^2 + y^2}} \] 2. **Substituting values**: At the point \( (6, 36) \): - \( x = 6 \) - \( y = 36 \) - \( D = \sqrt{6^2 + 36^2} = \sqrt{36 + 1296} = \sqrt{1332} \) We can calculate \( \sqrt{1332} \): \[ \sqrt{1332} = 6\sqrt{37} \] However, we know that the distance is given as 6 cm, so we will use that directly. 3. **Plugging in the values**: \[ 5 = \frac{6 \frac{dx}{dt} + 36 \frac{dy}{dt}}{6} \] Simplifying gives: \[ 5 = \frac{dx}{dt} + 6 \frac{dy}{dt} \] ### Part b We need to find an equation relating \( \frac{dy}{dt} \) to \( \frac{dx}{dt} \) using the equation \( y = x^2 \). 1. **Differentiate \( y = x^2 \)** with respect to \( t \): \[ \frac{dy}{dt} = 2x \frac{dx}{dt} \] ### Part c Now we will find the rate at which the y-coordinate of the bug is increasing when the bug is at the point \( (6, 36) \). 1. **Substituting \( x = 6 \)** into the equation from Part b: \[ \frac{dy}{dt} = 2(6) \frac{dx}{dt} = 12 \frac{dx}{dt} \] 2. **Substituting \( \frac{dy}{dt} \) into the equation from Part a**: \[ 5 = \frac{dx}{dt} + 6(12 \frac{dx}{dt}) \] \[ 5 = \frac{dx}{dt} + 72 \frac{dx}{dt} \] \[ 5 = 73 \frac{dx}{dt} \] \[ \frac{dx}{dt} = \frac{5}{73} \text{ cm/min} \] 3. **Finding \( \frac{dy}{dt} \)**: \[ \frac{dy}{dt} = 12 \frac{dx}{dt} = 12 \left(\frac{5}{73}\right) = \frac{60}{73} \text{ cm/min} \] ### Summary of Results - **Part a**: \( \frac{dx}{dt} = \frac{5}{73} \) cm/min - **Part b**: \( \frac{dy}{dt} = 2x \frac{dx}{dt} \) - **Part c**: \( \frac{dy}{dt} = \frac{60}{73} \) cm/min
