MAFS.912.C.3.11Archived Standard

Model rates of change, including related rates problems.

Remarks

Example: One boat is heading due south at 10 mph. Another boat is heading due west at 15 mph.  Both boats are heading toward the same point. If the boats maintain their speeds and directions, they will meet in two hours. Find the rate (in miles per hour) that the distance between them is decreasing exactly one hour before they meet.
