Rate of Change
EXAMPLE
SOLUTION
(Rate of Change) The width of a rectangle is increasing at a rate of 3 inches
per second and its length is increasing at the rate of 4 inches per second. At
what rate is the area of the rectangle increasing when its width is 5 inches and
its length is 6 inches? [Hint: Let W(t) and L(t) be the widths and lengths,
respectively, at time t.]
Since we are looking for the rate at which the area of the rectangle is changing,
we will need to evaluate the derivative of an area function, A(x) for those given
values (and to simplify, lets say that this is happening at time t = t
0
). Thus
( ) ( ) ( ) t W t L t A =
This is the area function.
( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) t L t W t W t L t A ' + ' = ' Differentiate using the product
rule.
Rate of Change
Now, since the width of the rectangle is increasing at a rate of 3 inches per
second, we know W(t) = 3. And since the length is increasing at a rate of 4
inches per second, we know L(t) = 4.
Now we substitute into the derivative of A.
This is the derivative function.
( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) t L t W t W t L t A ' + ' = '
CONTINUED
W(t) = 3, L(t) = 4, W(t) = 5,
and L(t) = 6.

Now, we are determining the rate at which the area of the rectangle is
increasing when its width is 5 inches (W(t) = 5) and its length is 6 inches
(L(t) = 6).

memorizing them more easily, is

SOLUTION
Compute using the chain rule.
Since y is not given directly as a function of x, we cannot compute by
differentiating y directly with respect to x. We can, however, differentiate with
respect to u the relation , and get
