A point $$\(P\)$$ is moving along a curve in such a way that the $$\(x\)$$-coordinate of $$\(P\)$$ is increasing at a constant rate of 2 units per minute. The equation of the curve is $$\(y=(5 x-1)^{\frac{1}{2}}\)$$. Find the value of $$\(x\)$$ when the $$\(y\)$$-coordinate is increasing at $$\(\frac{5}{8}\)$$ units per minute. .................................................................................................................................................... .................................................................................................................................................... .................................................................................................................................................... .................................................................................................................................................... .................................................................................................................................................... .................................................................................................................................................... .................................................................................................................................................... .................................................................................................................................................... .................................................................................................................................................... .................................................................................................................................................... .................................................................................................................................................... .................................................................................................................................................... .................................................................................................................................................... .................................................................................................................................................... .................................................................................................................................................... .................................................................................................................................................... .................................................................................................................................................... .................................................................................................................................................... .................................................................................................................................................... .................................................................................................................................................... .................................................................................................................................................... .................................................................................................................................................... .................................................................................................................................................... .................................................................................................................................................... ....................................................................................................................................................
