question 99

Multiple Choice

Find the indicated derivative. The independent variable is a function of t. $y = x ^ { 0.7 } ( 1 + x ) ; \frac { \mathrm { d } y } { \mathrm {~d} t } =$

• A) \(\frac { \mathrm { d } y } { \mathrm {~d} t } = \left( 0.7 x ^ { - 0.3 } \right) \frac { \mathrm { d } x } { \mathrm {~d} t }\)
• B) \(\frac { \mathrm { d } y } { \mathrm {~d} t } = \left( 0.7 x ^ { - 0.3 } + 2.7 x ^ { 0.7 } \right) \frac { \mathrm { d } x } { \mathrm {~d} t }\)
• C) \(\frac { \mathrm { d } y } { \mathrm {~d} t } = \left( 0.7 x ^ { - 0.3 } + 1.7 x ^ { 0.7 } \right) \frac { \mathrm { d } x } { \mathrm {~d} t }\)
• D) \(\frac { \mathrm { d } y } { \mathrm {~d} t } = \left( 1.7 x ^ { 0.7 } \right) \frac { \mathrm { d } x } { \mathrm {~d} t }\)
• E) \(\frac { \mathrm { d } y } { \mathrm {~d} t } = \left( 0.7 x ^ { 0.7 } + 2.7 x ^ { 0.7 } \right) \frac { \mathrm { d } x } { \mathrm {~d} t }\)
