Section outline

  • In the concept on , you learned that given a relationship between two quantities, the relationship between their respective rates of change can be determined. This is often an invaluable tool in applications, since it allows us to find the rate at which some quantity is changing by relating it to other quantities whose rates of change are known (or at least more easily found). For example, if you were at the scene of an accident where an oil spill from a large tanker is spreading in a circular pattern whose radius you determine is increasing by about 1 ft per second, would you be able to tell someone how fast the oil spill area was increasing when the radius was about 30 feet?
    ::在这一概念中,你了解到,鉴于两个数量之间的关系,可以确定它们各自的变化率之间的关系。这往往是一个非常宝贵的应用工具,因为它使我们能够通过将某些数量的变化速度与已知(或至少更容易找到)变化率的其他数量联系起来,从而发现某些数量的变化速度。 比如,如果你身处一个事故现场,当时大油轮的漏油正在以圆形模式扩散,而你确定其半径每秒增加约1英尺,你能否告诉某人,当半径大约为30英尺时,石油溢漏区正在增加多快?

    Related Rates
    ::相关利率

    What do we mean by related rates? These are simply the , rates, of one or more parameters that are related to each other through an equation. The relationship between the rates is obtained by taking the derivative of some other relationship between the parameters.
    ::相关税率意味着什么?这些仅仅是通过等式相互联系的一个或多个参数的 、 率、 率、 或多个参数。 比率之间的关系是通过从参数之间的某种其他关系中衍生出来的。

    A simple example with a familiar geometric shape should help illustrate the concept.
    ::一个具有熟悉几何形状的简单例子应有助于说明这一概念。

    Consider the simple right triangle in the figure below with sides x , y , and z . The relationship between the sides is governed by the Pythagorean Theorem.
    ::考虑下图中带有侧面 x、y 和 z 的简单右三角形。 双方之间的关系由毕达哥伦理论管辖。

    x 2 + y 2 = z 2

    We could easily attach some real-life situation to this geometric figure. Say for instance that  x and y  represent the paths of two people starting at point  p and walking North and West, respectively, for two hours. The quantity z  represents the distance between them at any time t . Let’s now determine any relationships between the various rates of change that we get by implicitly differentiating the original equation  x 2 + y 2 = z 2 with respect to time t .
    ::我们可以很容易地将一些真实情况附于这个几何图中。 比如说, x 和 y 分别代表从p点开始的两个人的行走路径,然后在北面和西面行走两个小时。 数量 z 代表他们在任何时候的距离 。 现在让我们来决定我们通过隐含地区分原始方程式 x2+y2=z2 相对于时间 t 所得到的各种变化率之间的关系 。

    d d t [ x 2 + y 2 ] = d d t [ z 2 ] 2 x d x d t + 2 y d y d t = 2 z d z d t x d x d t + y d y d t = z d z d t Equation   1

    ::ddt[x2+y2]=ddt[z2,2xdxdt+2ydydt=2zdzddddt+ydydt=zdzdt=zdzdt...等式 1

    Implicit differentiation of the Pythagorean relationship between the side lengths has yielded relationships between the side length derivatives, and since the derivatives are rates, this is an example of related rates .
    ::Pythagorean人关系在副长之间的隐性区别已导致副长衍生物之间的关系,由于衍生物是利率,这是相关利率的一个实例。

    How might the relationship above be used to solve or answer a problem?
    ::如何利用上述关系解决或解决一个问题?

    Let’s say that person is walking in the x -direction at 5 mph, and that another person is walking in the y -direction at 3 mph. The distance, z , between the walkers is changing with time, and the time rate of change of, z , d z d t , is dependent on the rates at which the two people are walking.
    ::换句话说,这个人在5mph的X方向行走,另一个人在3mph的Y方向行走。 行尸之间的距离,Z,随时间而变化,Z,dzdt的改变速度取决于两人行走的速度。

    One problem that we could pose is:
    ::我们可以提出的一个问题是:

    At what rate is the distance between x  and y  increasing after one hour? That is, what is  d z d t after one hour?
    ::一小时后 x 和 y 之间的距离增加多少? 一小时后 dzdt 是什么 ?

    Assume that they have walked for one hour. So x = 5   m i  and y = 3 .
    ::假设他们步行了一个小时。 所以 x=5 mi and y= 3 。

    Using the Pythagorean Theorem, we find the distance between them after one hour is z = 34 = 5.83   m i l e s .
    ::利用毕达哥里安神话 我们发现它们之间的距离 一个小时后是z=34=5.83英里

    lesson content

    If we substitute the values for x , y , and  z into Equation 1 along with the individual rates we get
    ::如果我们将x、y和z的值与我们得到的个别利率同以x、y和z等值取代,

    5 ( 5 ) + 3 ( 3 ) = 34 d z d t 34 = 34 d z d t 34 34 = d z d t .

    ::5(5)+3(3)=34dzdt34=34dzdt3434=dzdt。

    Hence after one hour the distance between the two people is increasing at a rate of:
    ::因此,一个小时后,两人之间的距离以下列速度增加:

    d z d t = 34 34 5.83   m p h .
    ::dzdt=3434 5.83 mph.

    Suppose we have a rectangular field and we know that at an instant of time, the length is changing at the rate of 8 ft/hour and the perimeter is changing at a rate of 24 ft/hour. At what rate is the width changing at that instant? At what rate is the area changing at that instant?
    ::假设我们有一个矩形场,我们知道在某一时刻,长度以每小时8英尺的速度变化,周边以每小时24英尺的速度变化。当时刻宽度以什么速度变化?当时,面积以什么速度变化?

    You are familiar with the formulas for Perimeter:
    ::您熟悉周边的公式 :

    P = 2 l + 2 w
    ::P=2l+2w

    If we differentiate the perimeter equation, we have
    ::如果我们区分了周边方程

    Equation 2: d P d t = 2 d l d t + 2 d w d t .
    ::等式 2:dPdt=2ddt+2ddwdt。

    Substituting our known information into Equation 2, we have
    ::将已知信息转换为2号等号

    24 = ( 2 × 8 ) + 2 × d w d t 8 = 2 × d w d t 4 = d w d t .

    ::24=(2x8)+2xdwdt8=2xdwdt4=dwdt。

    The width is changing at a rate of 4 ft/hr.
    ::宽度以每小时4英尺的速度变化。

    Example 1
    ::例1

    Earlier, you were asked about being at the scene of an accident where an oil spill from a large tanker is  spreading in a circular pattern whose radius you determine is increasing by about 1 ft per second. Would you be able to tell someone how fast the oil spill area was increasing when the radius was about 30 feet?
    ::早些时候,有人问您是否身处一个事故现场,在那里,大型油轮的漏油事件正在以环状模式扩散,您确定其半径每秒增加约1英尺。您能否告诉某人,当半径约30英尺时,漏油区增速有多快?

    Since the circular area of the spill is A = π r 2 , the time rate of change of the area is d A d t = π 2 r d r d t . This means that with d r d t = 1   f t / s e c , when r = 30   f t , d A d t = 60 π f t 2 / s e c .
    ::由于溢漏的圆环区域为Ar2, 区域变化的时间速率为 dAdt2rdd。 这意味着, drdt=1 ft/sec, 当 r= 30 ft, dAdt= 60ft2/sec 时 。

    Example 2
    ::例2

    We have a water tank shaped as an inverted right circular cone. Suppose that water flows into the tank at the rate of 5   f t 3 / m i n . At what rate is the water level rising when the height of the water in the tank is 6 feet?

    V = 1 3 π r 2 h

    ::dVdt=13heart(2r)ddt+13r2dhdt。

    This is a related rates equation. The rate d V d t  is related to the rates d r d t  and d h d t .
    ::这是相关的费率方程式。 dVdt 的费率与 drdt 和 dhdt 的费率有关。

    We know d V d t = 5   f t 3 / m i n , do no know d r d t , but want to find d h d t . We need to somehow find a relationship between h  and r .
    ::我们知道 dVdt=5 ft3/min, 不知道 drdt, 但是想要找到 dhdt。 我们需要找到h和r之间的关系 。

    Let  r 1 be the radius of the surface of the water as it flows out of the tank.

    Note that the two triangles are similar and thus corresponding parts are proportional. In particular,

    We can write this as a general relationship between  r and h .
    ::我们可以把它写成r和h之间的一般关系

    r = 2 h 5 , which means also that d r d t = 2 5 d h d t . We have the relationships we need.
    ::r=2h5,也就是说drdt=25dhdt。我们有我们需要的关系。

    Now we can solve the problem in a couple of ways: (a) substitute r = ( 2 h 5 )  into the original equation for V , or (b) substitute r = ( 2 h 5 )  and d r d t = 2 5 d h d t  into the equation for d V d t . Let’s try approach (a).

    ::V=13-( 2h5) 2h=4-75h3

    Hence d V d t = 12 π 75 h 2 d h d t , and by substitution,
