6. Given 𝑥 = 5 ft and 𝑑𝑥
𝑑𝑡 = 12 ft/sec, the question asks us to find
𝑑𝜃
𝑑𝑡 .
An equation that relates the given quantities is cos 𝜃 = 𝑥
13 , or 𝑥 = 13 cos 𝜃.
Differentiating this equation with respect to time gives
𝑑
𝑑𝑡 [𝑥] =
𝑑
𝑑𝑡 [13 cos 𝜃] →
𝑑𝑥
𝑑𝑡 = −13 sin 𝜃 ⋅
𝑑𝜃
𝑑𝑡
To solve for 𝑑𝜃
𝑑𝑡 we find 𝜃 when 𝑥 = 5:
cos 𝜃 = 5
13 → cos 𝜃 =
5
13 → 𝜃 = cos−1 (
5
13 ) ≈ 1.176
Thus, we have
𝑑𝑥
𝑑𝑡 = −13 sin 𝜃 ⋅
𝑑𝜃
𝑑𝑡
12 = −13 sin(1.176) ⋅ 𝑑𝜃

12 = −13 ( 12
