Answer

Thus, the volume is increasing at a rate of $35.71$ $cm^{3}/min$

Work Step by Step

Differentiating both sides of $PV^{1.4}$ = $C$ $1.4PV^{0.4}\frac{dV}{dt}+V^{1.4}\frac{dP}{dt}$ = $0$ $\frac{dV}{dt}$ = $-\frac{V}{1.4P}\frac{dP}{dt}$ $V$ = 400, $P$ = $80$ and $\frac{dP}{dt}$ = $-10$- then $\frac{dV}{dt}$ = $-\frac{400}{1.4(80)}(-10)$ $\approx$ $35.71$ $cm^{3}/min$ Thus, the volume is increasing at a rate of $35.71$ $cm^{3}/min$
