A particle moves on the line y = 2x + 1 in such a way that its x−coordinate changes at a constant rate of 4 units per second. A right triangle is formed by the vertical line from the particle to the x−axis, the line connecting the particle to the origin, and the x−axis. At what rate is the area of the right triangle changing when x = 4?
