In this problem, it is given that the width of a rectangle is increasing at a rate of 9 inches per second.
00:06
The length is increasing at the rate of 5 inches per second.
00:09
We need to determine the rate at which the area of the rectangle is increasing when its width is 3 inches and its length is 6 inches.
00:17
So let us consider the function a of t to be the function which represents the area.
00:24
Now the area of a rectangle is given by the width times the length.
00:28
So we have w of t times l of t.
00:31
Now we need to find the rate at which the area of the rectangle is increasing.
00:37
So for that, we will need to determine the first derivative of this area function with respect to t.
00:45
So we need to find the derivative of wt times l t.
00:48
For that, we will be using the product rule of derivatives.
00:51
And using that, we have wt times the derivative of lt plus the derivative of wt, plus the derivative of wt, times lt.
01:00
So we need to find this rate of change of area when the width is three inches and the length is six inches.
01:10
So the width is three inches, so w of t should be three...
