Final answer:
To evaluate dy/dt, we differentiate the given equation with respect to t using the chain rule and implicit differentiation. Plugging in the given values, we find that dy/dt = -6/9.
Step-by-step explanation:
To evaluate dy/dt, we need to differentiate the given equation with respect to t. We'll use the chain rule and implicit differentiation to find the derivative.
Starting with 3xe^y = 9 - ln 729 + 6 ln x:
Differentiating both sides with respect to t:
3x(e^y)(dy/dt) + 3e^y(dx/dt) = 0 + 0 + 6(x^(-1))(dx/dt)
Plugging in the given values: x = 3, y = 0, dx/dt = 6
3(3)(e^0)(dy/dt) + 3(e^0)(6) = 6(3^(-1))(6)
Simplifying further, we have: 9(dy/dt) + 18 = 36/3
9(dy/dt) + 18 = 12
9(dy/dt) = 12 - 18
9(dy/dt) = -6
Finally, solving for dy/dt gives us: dy/dt = -6/9
