Question

A particle is moving along the curve y= 5sqrt(5x+4) . As the particle passes through the point (1,15), its x-coordinate increases at a rate of 4 units per second. Find the rate of change of the distance from the particle to the origin at this instant.

Answer 1

The question ask to find the rate of change of the distance from the paticle to the origin at this instant where as a particle is moving along the curve y = 5sqrt(5x+4) and base on my calculation, I came up with an answer of 254/sqrt(226). I hope you are satisfied with my answer and feel free to ask for more
