Document Summary

1476- lecture 15 - applications of rates of change. F (x)= dy/dx = lim x 0 y/ x. Y = f( x + x ) - f(x) The average rate of change of y w. r. t x is y / x. The instantaneous rate of change of y w. r. t x is lim x 0 y/ x. What the derivative actually means depends on the problem ex: blowing up a spherical balloon. Find the rate of increase when r= 1 ft; 2 ft; 3 ft. Ds/dr (the derivative of the surface area function) equals the instantaneous rate of change of the surface area with respect to the radius. Ds/dr= 8 r: when r= 1 ft, ds/dt= 8 ft, when r= 2 ft, ds/dt= 16 ft, when r= 3 ft, ds/dt= 32 ft. To figure out what units to use for dy/dx, divide the units of y and x.
