Problem

A temperature sensor converts voltage VV (in volts) to temperature TT (in °C) according to the model T=40V+9T=\sqrt{40V+9} for V>0V>0. When the sensor indicates T=9∘ ⁣CT=9^\circ\!\text{C}, what is the instantaneous rate of change of voltage with respect to temperature, dVdT\dfrac{dV}{dT}, in volts per degree Celsius? (a) 209\dfrac{20}{9} (b) 920\dfrac{9}{20} (c) 940\dfrac{9}{40} (d) 14\dfrac{1}{4}
