Question Number 26774 by NECx last updated on 29/Dec/17

If one side of a square reduces by  10% and the adjacent side increases  by 30%.Using the application of  differentiationfind the % change  in the area of the square.

$${If}\:{one}\:{side}\:{of}\:{a}\:{square}\:{reduces}\:{by} \\ $$$$\mathrm{10\%}\:{and}\:{the}\:{adjacent}\:{side}\:{increases} \\ $$$${by}\:\mathrm{30\%}.{Using}\:{the}\:{application}\:{of} \\ $$$${differentiationfind}\:{the}\:\%\:{change} \\ $$$${in}\:{the}\:{area}\:{of}\:{the}\:{square}. \\ $$

A=lb  (dA/dt)=b(dl/dt)+l(db/dt)  initially l=b and A=b^2   (db/dt)=−.1b  (dl/dt)=+.3l  (dA/dt)=b×.3l−l×.1b=.2lb=.2A  Area will increase by 20%

$${A}={lb} \\ $$$$\frac{{dA}}{{dt}}={b}\frac{{dl}}{{dt}}+{l}\frac{{db}}{{dt}} \\ $$$${initially}\:{l}={b}\:{and}\:{A}={b}^{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\frac{{db}}{{dt}}=−.\mathrm{1}{b} \\ $$$$\frac{{dl}}{{dt}}=+.\mathrm{3}{l} \\ $$$$\frac{{dA}}{{dt}}={b}×.\mathrm{3}{l}−{l}×.\mathrm{1}{b}=.\mathrm{2}{lb}=.\mathrm{2}{A} \\ $$$$\mathrm{Area}\:\mathrm{will}\:\mathrm{increase}\:\mathrm{by}\:\mathrm{20\%} \\ $$

Since the question asked for use  of derivate i answered as in comment.  I assumed 30% and 10% question   as rate of change.
