Related Rates: An Application of Derivatives

In the next several sections we'll look at more uses of derivatives. Probably no single application will be of interest or use to everyone, but at least some of them should be useful to you. Applications also reinforce what you have been practicing; they require that you recall what a derivative means and use the techniques covered in the last several sections.
