Explain how the instantaneous rate of change of a function at a point is related to its average rates of change.
Added by Micheal P.
Step 1
The average rate of change of a function over an interval [a, b] is defined as the change in the function's value (f(b) - f(a)) divided by the change in the input value (b - a). This is essentially the slope of the secant line that connects the points (a, f(a)) Show more…
