If a company spends r million dollars on research, it sales will be s million dollars, where r and s are related by s² = -55. (a) Find ds/dr by implicit differentiation and evaluate it at r=4, s= 3. [Hint: Differentiate the equation with respect to r.] (b) Find dr/ds by implicit differentiation and evaluate it at r=4,s3. [Hint: Differentiate the original equation with respect to s.] (c) Interpret your answer to part (a) as a rate of change. O Changing research will not affect sales. O Given ds/dr = n. this means that the rate of change of sales with respect to research expenditures is n, so that increasing research by one million dollars increase sales by about n million dollars (at these levels of r and s). O Given ds/dr = n, this means that the rate of change of research expenditures with respect to sales is n, so that increasing sales by one million dollars will increase research by about n million dollars (at these levels of r and s). Interpret your answer to part (b) as a rate of change. O Given drids = m, this means that the rate of change of sales with respect to research expenditures is n. so that increasing research by one million dollars will increase sales by about m million dollars (at these levels of rand s). Given dr/ds=m, this means that the rate of change of research expenditures with respect to sales is m, so that increasing sales by one million dollars wi increase research by about m million dollars (at these levels of rand s). Changing sales will not affect research
