Intro to Related Rates

This study guide covers related rates in AP Calculus AB, focusing on using derivatives to solve real-world problems involving rates of change with respect to time. It outlines a step-by-step process for solving related rate problems, including identifying quantities, modeling relationships with formulas, applying derivative rules (chain rule, product rule, quotient rule), and substituting known values to solve for unknowns. The guide emphasizes the importance of visualizing the problem and provides two practice examples involving a circular oil spill and a sliding ladder.
