TopicConnected Rates of Change

4 A curve is such that \(\frac { \mathrm { d } y } { \mathrm {~d} x } = 2 - 8 ( 3 x + 4 ) ^ { - \frac { 1 } { 2 } }\).
  1. A point \(P\) moves along the curve in such a way that the \(x\)-coordinate is increasing at a constant rate of 0.3 units per second. Find the rate of change of the \(y\)-coordinate as \(P\) crosses the \(y\)-axis. The curve intersects the \(y\)-axis where \(y = \frac { 4 } { 3 }\).
  2. Find the equation of the curve.
