  1. RELATED RATES DERIVATIVES WITH RESPECT TO TIME

  2. How do you take the derivative with respect to time when “time” is not a variable in the equation? • Consider a circle that is growing on the coordinate plane: • Growing Circle Animation • Equation of a circle centered at the origin with radius of 2: • x2 + y2 = 4

  3. In each case find the derivative with respect to ‘t’. Then find dy/dt.

  4. What is a related rate?

  6. AREA AND VOLUME RELATED RATES

  7. Example 1 Suppose a spherical balloon is inflated at the rate of 10 cubic inches per minute. How fast is the radius of the balloon increasing when the radius is 5 inches?

  8. Ex 1: Answer Volume of a Sphere: Given: Find: when r = 5 inches

  9. Example 2 A shrinking spherical balloon loses air at the rate of 1 cubic inch per minute. At what rate is its radius changing when the radius is (a) 2 inches? (b) 1 inch?

  10. Ex 2: Answer Volume of a Sphere: Given: Find: when a) r = 2 inches b) r = 1 inch

  11. Example 3 The area of a rectangle, whose length is twice its width, is increasing at the rate of Find the rate at which the length is increasing when the width is 5 cm.

  12. Ex 3: Answer Area of a rectangle: Given: l = 2w Find: when w = 5 cm l = 10 cm

  13. Example 4 • Gravel is being dumped from a conveyor belt at a rate of 30 ft3/min and its coarseness is such that it forms a pile in the shape of a cone whose base diameter and height are always equal. How fast is the height of the pile increasing when the pile is 10 ft high?

  14. Ex 4: Answer Volume of a Cone: Given: d = h or 2r = h Find: when h = 10 ft Eliminate ‘r’ from the equation and simplify

  15. Ex 4: Answer (con’t) Take the derivative Substitute in the specific values and solve. Table of contents

  16. Example 5 An inverted conical container has a height of 9 cm and a diameter of 6 cm. It is leaking water at a rate of 1 cubic centimeter per minute. Find the rate at which the water level h is dropping when h equals 3cm.

  17. Ex 5: Answer 3 Volume of a Cone: Given: Find: when h = 3 cm 9 Since the base radius is 3 and the height of the cone is 9, the radius of the water level will always be 1/3 of the height of the water. That is r = 1/3h

  18. Ex 5: Answer (con’t) 3 Volume of a Cone: 9 Table of contents

  19. PYTHAGOREAN THEOREM AND SIMILARITY

  20. Example 6 A 13 meter long ladder leans against a a vertical wall. The base of the ladder is pulled away from the wall at a rate of 1 m/s. Find the rate at which the top of the ladder is falling when the base of the ladder is 5m away from the wall.

  21. Ex 6: Answer Given: Length of ladder – 13 m Find: when x = 5 m 13 y x Use Pythagorean Theorem to relate the sides of the triangle!

  22. Ex 6: Answer (con’t) By the Pythagorean Thm: 13 y x Find ‘y’ when x = 5 using Pythagorean Thm.

  23. Ex 7: A balloon and a bicycle A balloon is rising vertically above a level straight road at a constant rate of 1 ft/sec. Just when the balloon is 65 ft above the ground, a bicycle moving at a constant rate of 17 ft/sec passes under it. How fast is the distance s(t) between the bicycle and balloon increasing 3 sec later?

  24. Ex 7: Balloon and Bicycle - solution Given: rate of balloon rate of cyclist Find: when x = ? and y = ? Distance = rate * time s y x

  25. Ex 7: Balloon and Bicycle - solution s y x

  26. Ex 8: The airplane problem- A highway patrol plane flies 3 mi above a level, straight road at a steady pace 120 mi/h. The pilot sees an oncoming car and with radar determines that at the instant the line of sight distance from plane to car is 5 mi, the line of sight distance is decreasing at the rate of 160 mi/h. Find the car’s speed along the highway.

  27. Ex 8: Airplane - solution Given: rate of plane: when s=5: Find: rate of the car:

  30. Example 9 A 6 foot-tall man is walking straight away from a 15 ft-high streetlight. At what rate is his shadow lengthening when he is 20 ft away from the streetlight if he is walking away from the light at a rate of 4 ft/sec.

  31. Ex 9: Answer Given: streetlight – 15 ft man – 6 ft Find: when x = 20 ft 15 6 x s Set up a proportion using the sides of the large triangle and the sides of the small triangle.

  32. Ex 9: Answer (con’t) 15 6 x s Table of contents

  37. Example 11 A baseball diamond is a square with sides 90 ft long. Suppose a baseball player is advancing from second to third base at a rate of 24 ft per second, and an umpire is standing on home plate. Let  be the angle between the third base line and the line of sight from the umpire to the runner. How fast is  changing when the runner is 30 ft from 3rd base?

  38. Ex 11: Answer Given: Side length – 90 ft. Find: when x = 30 ft. x 90 
