2.6 Related Rates
   Solving Real-Life Problems

You pump air at a steady rate into
a deflated balloon until the balloon
bursts. Does the radius of the
balloon change faster when you
first start pumping the air, or just
before the balloon bursts? Why?

Ex 1 p. 149 Two rates that are related
Suppose x and y are two differentiable functions of t
and are related by equation y = x3 – 2
Find dy/dt , given that dx/dt = 2 when x = 1
Implicitly derive x and y with respect to t
 y = x3 − 2
 dy      2 dx
    = 3x            Now substitute in what you know
 dt        dt
 dy
    = 3(1) 2 (2)   =6
 dt
 In this problem you were given the equation that relates y
 and x. Most times you have to create the equation that
 relates variables. Luckily we know geometry and trig!

Ex 2 p. 150 Ripples in a pond
A pebble is dropped in a calm pond, causing ripples in
the form of concentric circles. The radius r of the outer
ripple is increasing at a constant rate of 1 foot per
second. When the radius is 5 feet, at what rate is the
total area A of the disturbed water changing?
Equation: A = π r

Air is being pumped into a spherical balloon at a rate of 5
cubic feet per minute. Find the rate of change of the radius
when the radius is 1.5 feet.

Ex 6 Conical tanks and water going into or
out of a tank

When water goes into a
conical tank, the
volume, the radius, and
the height of the water
are all a function of time.

We need to find an equation that relates volume, radius
and height, namely       π r 2h
                     V=
                           3
 (You might recall that a cylinder with same height and
 radius is 3 times as much volume as a cone.)

A conical tank is 8 inches high and
 8inches across the top. If water is
 flowing into the tank at rate of 5 in3/min,
 find the rate of change of the depth
 when the water is 6 inches deep.               dV
                                                   = 5in3 / min

Let’s start again.               dV                  1
We can figure out:                  = 5in3 / min   r= h
                                 dt                  2

      π r 2h
   V=                      Substitute in for r

       π ( 1 2 h) 2 h     π h3
  V=                    =

 Solution: 5 dh

 or the height is changing

•Related rate problems often involve a situation in
which you are asked to calculate the rate at which
one quantity changes with respect to time from the
rate at which a second quantity changes with
respect to time.

•Related rate problems can be recognized because
the rate of change of one or more quantities with
respect to time is given and the rate of change with
respect to time of another quantity is required.

Calc 2.6

DO NOT MAKE ANY SUBSTITUTIONS before you
differentiate! That creates a problem where things can’t
change with time.

If a rate is decreasing or getting smaller over time, it is a
negative rate!

Geometry formulas are in the back of your book.
