x^2+y^2=10^2
y=6 when x=8
tanθ = y/x, so
y = x tanθ
tanθ=3/4 when x=8
x dx/dt + y dy/dt = 0
dy/dt = tanθ dx/dt + x sec^2θ dθ/dt
Now just plug in your numbers.
y=6 when x=8
tanθ = y/x, so
y = x tanθ
tanθ=3/4 when x=8
x dx/dt + y dy/dt = 0
dy/dt = tanθ dx/dt + x sec^2θ dθ/dt
Now just plug in your numbers.
