Lesson: Average and Instantaneous Rates of Change Mathematics • Higher Education

In this lesson, we will learn how to find the average rate of change of a function between two x-values and use limits to find the instantaneous rate of change.

Lesson Plan

Students will be able to

evaluate the average rate of change of a given function over an interval,
find an expression of the average rate of change of a given function over a general interval, to ,
use limits to find the instantaneous rate of change of a function at a point,
use limits to find an expression of the instantaneous rate of change of a given function at a general point, ,
find the average rate of change and instantaneous rate of change in the context of a real world system.
