    This document provides an overview of related rates and guidelines for solving related rates problems from multi-variable calculus. It includes two examples worked out in detail, showing how to set up related rates equations, implicitly differentiate to find rates of change, and substitute known values to solve for required rates. The objectives are to find related rate equations and rates of change with respect to time by setting up appropriate equations relating changing variables. Students are assigned to skim the related rates section and complete 10 related rates worksheet problems.

    Finding rate of change of variables changing with respect to time

    Use related rates to solve real-life problems.

    2.6: Guidelines for Solving Related Rates

    dx dt

    6 mi

    1. Identify all given quantities and quantities to be determined. (Make a sketch) 2. Write an equation for any given rates of change. State which rates of change we are to find. 3. Implicitly differentiate both sides of the equation with respect to time t. 4. Substitute into equation all known values and rates of change. Solve for the required rates of change.

    Example 1 Two Rates That Are Related


    Suppose x and y are both differentiable functions of t and are related by the equation y = x2 + 3. Find dy/dt when x = 1, given that dx/dt = 2 when x = 1. Work it out (review implicit differentiation): Using the Chain Rule, you can differentiate both sides of the equation with respect to t.

    Dy/dt = 4

    Example 2 An Inflating Balloon


    Air is being pumped into a spherical balloon at a rate of 4.5 cubic feet per min. Find the rate of change of the radius when the radius is 2 ft.
    1. State given:

    2. Primary Eqn

    3. Implicitly Differentiate

    4. Plug in values
    Figure 2.35

    Example 2 Solution Worked Out


    Let V be the volume of the balloon and let r be its radius. Because the volume is increasing at a rate of 4.5 cubic feet per minute, you know that at time t the rate of change of the volume is So, the problem can be stated as shown. Given rate: Find: (constant rate) when r = 2
    6

    Example 2 Solution Worked Out contd


    To find the rate of change of the radius, you must find an equation that relates the radius r to the volume V.

    Equation:
    Differentiating both sides of the equation with respect to t produces

    Finally, when r = 2, the rate of change of the radius is 7

    Similar Triangles : Triangles are similar if matching angles are equal and ratio of corresponding sides are in proportion.
    Divide corresponding side of one triangle by its corresponding side in other similar triangle -> similarity ratio.
