Answer

$2^{\circ} C$ per second

Work Step by Step

Apply the chain rule, we have $\dfrac{dT(t)}{dt}=T_t[x(t) , y(t)]=T_x[x(t), y(t)] \cdot x'(t)+T_y[x(t), y(t)] \cdot y'(t)$ Re-write as: $\dfrac{dT(t)}{dt}=T_x[x(t), y(t)] \cdot \dfrac{1}{2\sqrt {1+t}}+T_y[x(t), y(t)] \cdot (\dfrac{1}{3})$ We need to find the required rate of the temperature at $T=3$ $\dfrac{dT(3)}{dt}=T_x(2,3)(\dfrac{1}{4})+T_y(2,3) (\dfrac{1}{3})=(4)(\dfrac{1}{4})+(3) (\dfrac{1}{3})$ Hence, $\dfrac{dT(3)}{dt}=2^{\circ} C/s$
