TGM Original Questions

The equation of a curve is such that \(e^{2y} = 7x^4 + 2\).

  1. Obtain an expression for \(\frac{\mathrm{d}y}{\mathrm{d}x}\).
  2. The point \(P\) moves along the curve such that its \(y\)-coordinate is decreasing at a constant rate of \(\frac{2}{3}\) unit/s. Find the rate of change of the \(x\)-coordinate \(P\) when \(x = 1\).
