7. More Examples – Add to your notes! Stacey is rolling out pizza dough into a circle when she discovers that the radius is increasing at the rate of 2 cm/sec. How fast is the circumference increasing when the radius is 10 cm?

8. And another… A circular piece of ice is melting. The area is decreasing by 4 ft 2 /min. How fast is the circumference changing when the area is exactly feet?

9. NOTES Keys to related rates: 1) Set up an equation that relates all your variables. 1a) You may have to set up two equations and substitute one into the other. 1b) You can fill in anything you KNOW remains constant over time. 2) Take the derivative with respect to time (“t”) because things are changing over time. 3) Fill in the things you know and solve for the unknown.
