Find the rate of change of the distance

Reference no: EM13196109

A particle is moving along the curve y= 3 sqrt{4 x + 9}. As the particle passes through the point (4, 15), its x-coordinate increases at a rate of 5 units per second. Find the rate of change of the distance from the particle to the origin at this instant.
