Related Rate Calculator

Formula

To calculate the related rate (\(RLR\)):

\[ RLR = \frac{dV1}{dV2} \]

Where:

\(RLR\) is the Related Rate
\(dV1\) is the change in the first value
\(dV2\) is the change in the second value relative to the first value

What is a Related Rate?

A related rate measures how two changing quantities relate to each other. It's typically used in problems where one rate of change is known, and we need to determine another rate of change. By understanding the relationship between the two changing quantities, we can calculate the unknown rate using the given rate.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Change in the First Value (\(dV1\)) = 10
Change in the Second Value (\(dV2\)) = 5

Using the formula:

\[ RLR = \frac{10}{5} = 2 \]

The related rate is 2.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Change in the First Value (\(dV1\)) = 15
Change in the Second Value (\(dV2\)) = 3

Using the formula:

\[ RLR = \frac{15}{3} = 5 \]

The related rate is 5.
