The length x of a rectangle is decreasing at the rate of 3 cm/minute and the width y is increasing at the rate of 2 cm/minute. When x = 10 cm and y = 6 cm, find the rate of change of (a) the perimeter and (b) the area of rectangle

The length x of a rectangle is decreasing at the rate of 5 cm/minute and the width y is increasing at the rate of 4 cm/minutc. When x = 8 cm and y = 6 cm, find the rates of change of (a) the perimeter, and (b) the area of the rectangle.

The two equal sides of an isosceles triangle with fixed base b are decreasing at the rate of 3 cm per second. How fast is the area decreasing when the two equal sides are equal to the base? 

A particle moves along the curve  6y = x³ + 2. Find the points on the curve at which the y-coordinate is changing 8 times as fast as the x-coordinate.

At what points of the ellipse 16x² + 9y² = 400, does the ordinate decrease at the same rate at which the abscissa increases?

A ladder 5 m long is leaning against a wall. The bottom of the ladder is pulled along the ground, away from the wall, at the rate of 2 cm/s. How fast is its height on the wall decreasing when the foot of the ladder is 4m away from the wall?
