Rates of Change I Chapter 8.2
concept of the rate of change calculation of average rates of change in both practical and
purely mathematical situations interpretation of the average rate of change as the gradient of
the secant intuitive understanding of a limit (N.B. – Calculations using limit
theorems are not required) definition of the derivative of a function at a point derivative of simple algebraic functions from first principles
Model : A cyclist travels 315 km in 9 hours. Express this in m/sec
315 km in 9 hours = 35 km in 1 hour
= 9.72 m/sec (2dp)

Rates of Change
The rate of change of a second quantity w.r.t. a firstquantity is the quotient of their differences:
Read e.g. 4 Page 190 (Do on GC)N.B. If the rate of change is constant, the
graph will be a straight line.

Consider the following situation:
A car travels from Bundaberg to Miriamvale (100 km) at 50 km/h.How fast must he travel coming home to average 100 km/h for the entire trip?
N.B. Average speed = total distance
total time
Consider the following situation:
A car travels from Bundaberg to Miriamvale (100 km) at 80 km/h.How fast must he travel coming home to average 100 km/h for the entire trip?

Let P[ x, f(x) ] be a point on the curve y = f(x)
P[x, f(x)]
and let Q be a neighbouring point a distance of h further along the x-axis from point P.
x+h - x
f(x+h) – f(x)
