Steps: 4.6: Related Rates of Change 1. Draw a picture. 2. Identify all given quantities and the quantities to be determined. Remember, the rate of change is the derivative with respect to time. 3. Write an equation relating the variables. You will probably need to use known formulas. 4. Differentiate both sides of your equation with respect to time (t). You will use the chain rule and implicit differentiation. Make sure you do not plug in any values for variables that are changing before you take the derivative. 5. After you have taken the derivative substitute all known values for the variables and their rates of change. 6. Solve the equation for the desired quantity.
