Document Summary
Mat135 - lecture 22 - rates of change. Read sections 3. 6 and 3. 7 from the textbook. Recall the idea of interpreting derivatives as rates of change. Let = f ( ) be a given quantity. The average rate of change of with respect to. Over the interval [ 1 , 2 ] is given by. = f ( 2 ) - f ( 1 ) / 2 - 1 y x . The instantaneous rate of change of with respect to is given by dy dx lim. This interpretation of the derivative can be applied in all kinds of disciplines and scenarios; it"s what makes the derivative important. Describe the motion of an object given its position s ( t ) at all time t. Let v ( t ) be the velocity of the object at time t and let a ( t ) be the acceleration of the object at time t , then:
