Question

How do you solve a related rates problem using derivatives?

Answer 1

derive all variable in accordian to time

Answer 2

You basically have to draw the problem and assign variable names to the parts that are changing. A key step is to write down the rate that you want, and the rate that you have. Choose an appropriate equation based on the geometry of the problem. Then differentiate implicitly and solve for the rate you are looking for. Finally, plug in your values, and you will have your answer.
