Related Rates in Calculus

[@final8146]

I'm a college student, this is one of the best math explanations videos I've seen in my life. Great Job

[@annas9016]

You saved me. This makes so much sense. Usually my math teacher is great at explaining, but I could not get related rates for the life of me. I can't believe it makes sense.

[@itsHYP3HH]

My final is in an hour

[@jossiahrei5401]

Same. Time is ticking

This makes me feel better. My test on derivatives is in 17 hours.

Well, fuck... I'm in the same situation currently... My final is in 24 hours from now...

[@schl0ck]

I know it's been 6 years but I just wanted to let you know how much these videos have been helping me recently. Thank you for making this easier to understand!

[@harshsinghal4342]

This is probably the only channel where one can want to continue learning new concepts. Waiting for the next.

[@ProfessorDaveExplains]

that's the best kind of compliment! thanks kindly!

[@Amit-yf9ft]

You are incredible. Some feedback: I love how you speak clearly and slowly. You pause at the best times so that we can process and take notes. You explicitly explain not only the process, but WHY and HOW this all makes mathematical sense. Thank you so much. My AP Calc teacher is amazing, she really is. It's just that after a long day at school it is hard to remember and process everything. I view this as a supplement to my learning process in Calculus (one of my favorite classes)

[@layla229]

How was your ap calc??

[@lightning77125]

Same with me, my calculus teacher is incredible. But whenever I'm at home, ready to do an AP Classroom assignment that's 35-60 questions long, these videos are the perfect way to refresh my knowledge of the concept and make me ready for anything.

[@onyxignites2818]

3:29 For anyone wondering, there is an alternative way of solving this problem. Instead of isolating "(dr / dt)," you could have simply plugged in the values there, which would have given you *100 = 4π[25^(2)] (dr / dt),* which simplifies to *100 = 2,500π (dr / dt).* Isolating (dr / dt) gives you *(100 / 2,500π) cm./sec.,* which simplifies to *(1 / 25π) cm./sec.* PS: I had to comment this on an alternative account because Dave blocked my main account from commenting on his channel.

[@leotheperegrine]

Why'd you get blocked?

[@arthursodsod3232]

I've never been so nervous my whole life about an examination (which is tomorrow). This video will definitely help me pull through. I almost got the question by the end right (forgot to answer with the unit of measurement, but I got the numbers right, which is a feat for me). Hope I'll pass this first year as a college student. Thanks!

[@jraygolf4213]

Did you pass?

[@DBear8008]

I took AP calc BC my senior year in high school. I failed calc 2 freshman year of college, so I'm retaking calc 1 and 2 this year. In high school, related rates were so complicated and stressful, so I was dreading doing them again this year. After watching this video, I had the problem done in maybe 2 minutes. Great video, very clear and helpful. You're doing God's work Dave! :D

[@livbensen1898]

this video saved my life. I have a test for calc in about 5 hours and i feel much more confident. thank you!

[@topsprout9275]

Why did this one video make more sense than the two weeks we spent on this topic in my AP Calc class?? You might've just saved my test grade tomorrow.

[@CarsonG1017]

My differential calculus final is in 15 minutes. This was the only thing I was struggling with, and its been about a third of the class! Now I think I finally understand it!

[@djskyrock-]

i wish all proffesors could explain like you

[@ScratRedemption]

Mathematics has always fascinated me from a statistical standpoint, as certain topics are learned much quicker to some vs others. For example, in my calculus class this most recent fall, my entire class had trouble with related rates but mastered optimization. I was the sole student where that was the opposite; Related rates were easy, optimization was not. When you get to calculus-difficulty in math, there isnt really a "best student", as some people can pick up on topics easier than others, so my advice to those that are struggling is to make lots of contacts in class to find out who picks up on what the fastest, and in case you are that person, to help others in your class.

Bro my teacher just did these problems with no explanation and ive been lost for a month, my quiz is today and i was screwed but this makes SO MUCH MORE SENSE. Thank you for explaining WHY you were doing something rather than just adding derivatives.

This video is fantastic. I could not grasp this concept in class but this was simple and easy to understand. Your work is legendary.

[@alexh5725]

What really made related rates click for me was realizing what we're differentiating with respect to when we solve a problem. What I mean is that I was used to d/dx, but with a related rate problem, you're differentiating X and Y with respect to time. So rather than dy/dx and dx/dx, it's dy/dt and dx/dt

[@__lunareclipse]

This is a really great explanation, neat, and much better than my teacher. Thank you!

My professor contradicts everything he says every 5 seconds and his accent is so thick that he is unable to pronounce the words equation, derivative, and many other mathematical words. I learned more in 2 minutes of this video than the 2 hours of lecture devoted to this.

[@MTLTV-eu4nv]

I at one time had a professor who made fun of the ladder problem. Also, when I was in high school, I took calculus (we used textbooks by same author in both high school and in college), and we talked about how some of the problems in the book are not “realistic.” For example, I cannot think of a reason why you would pull a ladder away from a wall like the situation in this problem.

[@BaileyMiller-r7p]

I couldn't do a single related rates problem until this video and I did the practice al by myself! Thank you so much professor dave!! Every time your theme song comes on I do a dance!!

THANKS I HAVE MY FINAL TOMORROW this totally saved me if theres related rates problems on it

[@sanjupradeep9512]

2:31 - In this equation, volume is written as the function of radius. If we plot the graph with V and r , we get a curve. Then the differentiate at any point on the curve will show the slope at that point. Then how can you differentiate the function with respect to time which is neither X or Y coordinate even it is indirectly depended on the function. How can we imagine it.

[@Wutheheooooo]

if i actually understand it true. You can see it seperately as each graph. V(t) and r(t), and we are finding dr/dt using the relation given by the function V(r) and the given information of dV/dt. Just like position, speed and acceleration. we got p(t), s(t) and a(t) as each seperate term

[@alvideor]

What does it mean to have dV or dr or dt just on its own and not in a derivative fraction? Here is what I mean. First example can also be solved like this: dV/dr = 4pi*r^2 --> dV = 4pi*r^2 * dr dV/dt = 100 --> dV = 100*dt 4pi*r^2 * dr = 100*dt dr/dt = 100/(4pi*r^2) etc My question is, what is actually happening when the separate d terms start bouncing around in the expressions? Are they just infinitesimal changes in a variable? It's strange that they can be split off from derivative fractions and recombined to form a different derivative.

[@astha_yadav]

this is awesome !! i think i can finally stop being scared of application of derivatives lol

[@a.s.l711]

what is the difference when differentiating x^2, when is the answer 2x and 2x(dx/dt).

[@cbino2]

he's differentiating with respect to t, so implicit differentiation is being used here [which gets us 2x(dx/dt)] instead of just normally finding the derivative of x^2 (2x). basically we have to do this since we know dx/dt and must incorporate it into the formula to find dy/dt. hopefully that makes sense.
