Problem
The volume (in cm) of a gas is related to its temperature (in K) by . The temperature varies with time (in seconds) according to . Calculate at .Intuitive explanation
This problem chains together two relationships: volume depends on temperature, and temperature depends on time. You need the chain rule to find how volume changes with time directly. Rather than substituting into first, recognize that —find each piece separately, then multiply them together at the specific moment .
