Step 1:

Step 2: The distance between the cars is changing so the diagonal line in the figure is
labeled with a variable, s. A ladder, on the other hand, has a fixed length, so
the diagonal line in the diagram for the ladder problem would be labeled with
a number, not a variable.

Step 3: As Car A travels north, the distance y is growing at 50 miles per hour.
That’s a rate, a change in distance per change in time. So,
change∈distance ∈ y direction dy
= =50 mph
change∈time dx

As Car B travels west, the distance x is shrinking at 40 miles per hour.

That’s a negative rate:
change∈distance ∈ x direction dy
= =−40 mph
change∈time dx

Step 4: Figuring out how fast s is changing through

change∈distance ∈s direction dy
= =?
change ∈time dx
Step 5: The Pythagorean theorem, 𝑎2 + 𝑏2 = 𝑐2, will do for this right triangle
problem. In this problem, x and y are the legs of the right triangle, and s
is the hypotenuse, so 𝑥2 + 𝑦2 = 𝑠2.
Step 6: We now differentiate implicitly with respect to time
s2=x 2 + y 2
ds dx dy
2s =2 x =2 y
dx dt dt
dy
Step 7: Substitute and solve for
dx
Start on the Pythagorean theorem
𝑠2 = 𝑥2 + 𝑦2
𝑠2 = 0.42 + 0.32
𝑠2 = 0.16 + 0.09
𝑠2 = 0.25
s

Finally,
ds dx dy
2 s =2 x =2 y

Step 8: As a result, the distance between Car A and Car B is declining at a rate of 2 mph
while Car A is 3 blocks north of the intersection and Car B is 4 blocks east of it.
What I Have
Learned
Step 1:

Step 2: The height (or depth) of the swill and the width of the surface of the swill
(which gets wider while the swill gets deeper); h for height and b for base. The
volume of the swill can be given a letter v .

Step 3: The given rates with respect to time t is,

dv
=5 cubic ft ./cm
dt

dh
Step 4: We are to find
dt
Step 5: Formula that connects the variables in the problem: h, b and V
The formula for the volume of a right prism is V=(area of base) The area
1
of the triangular base equals bh
2

The height of the prism is 10 feet, so the formula becomes

1
V = bh (10)
2
V =5 bh
The triangular face of the swill in the trough is similar to the triangular face of
the trough itself, so the base and height of these triangles are proportional.
Hence,
b h
=
2 2.5
2.5 b=2 h(cross multiplication)
2h
b=
2.5
 b=0.8 h

Let us now substitute 0.h for b in the formula of V

V =5 bh
V =5 ( 0.8 ) h
V =4 h 2

dV dh
Step 6: We now differentiate implicitly with respect to time t. =8 h
dt dt

Step 7: Substitute known values for the rate and variable in the equation
dV dh
Given that: =5 and h equals 1 foot 3 inches or 1.25 to determine
dt dt

we will use:
dV dh
=8 h
dt dt
dh
5=8(1.25)
dt
dh
5=10
dt
dh 1
=
dt 2

Step 8: Hence, when the swill is 1 foot 3 inches deep, its rising level is at a rate of
1
ft ./m
