Asked by Samantha

The sales, in millions of dollars, of a laser disc recording of a hit movie t years from the date of release is given by:

S(t) = (5t)/(t^2 + 1)

a) Find the rate at which the sales are changing at time t.

b) How fast are the sales changing at the time the laser discs are released?

a)

S'(t) = dS(t)/dt

S'(t) = ((d5t/dt)(t<sup>2</sup>+1) - 5t d(t<sup>2</sup>+1)/dt)/(t<sup>2</sup>+1)<sup>2</sup>

S'(t) = (5(t<sup>2</sup>+1) - 10t<sup>2</sup>)/(t<sup>2</sup>+1)<sup>2</sup>

S'(t) = (5-5t<sup>2</sup>)/(t<sup>4</sup>+2t<sup>2</sup>+1)
