Consider a sphere of radius 10cm. The volume would change by approximately . First, a review problem: If the radius changes 0.1cm (a very small amount) how much does the volume change?
The sphere is growing at a rate of . Note: This is an exact answer, not an approximation like we got with the differential problems. Now, suppose that the radius is changing at an instantaneous rate of 0.1 cm/sec. (Possible if the sphere is a soap bubble or a balloon.)
Find Water is draining from a cylindrical tank at 3 liters/second. How fast is the surface dropping? (We need a formula to relate V and h. ) (r is a constant.)
Steps for Related Rates Problems: 1. Draw a picture (sketch). 2. Write down known information. 3. Write down what you are looking for. 4. Write an equation to relate the variables. 5. Differentiate both sides with respect to t. 6. Evaluate.
