Given a word problem that involves rates and accumulation, find the appropriate expression for solving the problem.

Related rates problems are word problems where we reason about the rate of change of a quantity by using information we have about the rate of change of another quantity that's related to it. Let's get acquainted with this sort of problem.

Differential calculus is all about instantaneous rate of change. Let's see how this can be used to solve real-world word problems.

The interpretation of definite integrals as accumulation of quantities can be used to solve various real-world word problems.

See worked example of how to find the appropriate expression to use in order to solve word problems using definite integrals.
