As we learnt in

Rate Measurement -

Rate of any of variable with respect to time is rate of measurement. Means according to small change in time how much other factors change is rate measurement:

\Rightarrow \frac{dx}{dt},\:\frac{dy}{dt},\:\frac{dR}{dt},(linear),\:\frac{da}{dt}


\Rightarrow \frac{dS}{dt},\:\frac{dA}{dt}(Area)


\Rightarrow \frac{dV}{dt}(Volume)


\Rightarrow \frac{dV}{V}\times 100(percentage\:change\:in\:volume)

- wherein

Where dR / dt  means Rate of change of radius.

 

 y = x +\frac{4}{x^{2}}

\frac{dy}{dx} = 1 +\frac{4.(-2)}{x^{3}}

0 = 1 -\frac{8}{x^{3}}

\therefore x^{3} = +8 \ \ \ x=+2

y = +2 +\frac{4}{4} = +2 +1 = 3

y=0

This option is incorrect.

Option 2)

y=1

This option is incorrect.

Option 3)

y=2

This option is incorrect.

Option 4)

y=3
