14.4 Chain Rules for functions of several variables Use the chain rule for functions of several variables Find partial derivatives implicitly
1st type of Chain Rule
Dependent on 2 variables…
Generalization to higher dimensions…
2nd Type of Chain Rule: Implicit differentiation
Old stuff from Calculus I and II
Same problem from before but now using 2nd method…
Harder example
Applications The portion of a tree usable for lumber may be viewed as a right circular cylinder. If the tree’s height increases as a rate of 24 inches/year and the radius increases at a rate of 3 inches/year, at what rate is the tree’s volume growing when it has a height of 240 inches and a radius of 30 inches?
