Need Notes?
While we strive to provide the most comprehensive notes for as many high school textbooks as possible, there are certainly going to be some that we miss. Drop us a note and let us know which textbooks you need. Be sure to include which edition of the textbook you are using! If we see enough demand, we'll do whatever we can to get those notes up on the site for you!
Hope this gets to you in time and does some good! Here's my suggestions for going about Related Rates problems:
1. Draw a picture of what's going on. Lines for stationary distances and arrows for changing distances.
2. Label and list all your values, even the zeros (if not especially the zeros)
3. Find an equation to find what the problem asks for, using as many of the given quantitites as possible and identify the unknown.
4. Find an equation to find any unknown values and then, well, find them.
5. Solve the problem.
Good Luck on your test! Make sure to take a deep breath before you start and to try to stay calm.
