A point is moving on the curve \(y=x^3-3 x^2+2 x-1\) and the \(y\)-coordinate of the point is increasing at the rate of 6 units per second. When the point is at \((2,-1)\), the rate of change of \(x\)-coordinate of the point is

  1. A \(3\)
  2. B \(\frac{1}{2}\)
  3. C \(-\frac{1}{2}\)
  4. D \(-3\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Since, \(y=x^3-3 x^2+2 x-1\) Now, \(\frac{d y}{d t}=3 x^2 \frac{d x}{d t}-\frac{6 x d x}{d t}+\frac{2 d x}{d t}\)…
