This activity serves as introduction related rates, and how these functions and derivatives are strewn in real life.

This introduction to related rates marks a significant shift. The way I put it, it is the initial prospect wherein these learnings are now applicable in real life. No longer are we solely concerned with abstract functions and derivatives. This activity bridges the gap, demonstrating how these powerful tools can be applied to solve real-world problems. It's exciting to see the practical applications of our differential calculus learnings come to life.
