2.01 Average and Instantaneous Rates of Change


1) Optional: Review: 1.11 Average vs Intantaneous rates of change. No need to copy the notes as you have them in your notebook already. Also, no need to review if you can tell what is ARC and IRC and how each one is calculated.
2) Watch & Note Brightstorm’s videos:Average Velocity
3) Watch & Note Brightstorm’s video:Instantaneous Velocity

Note: There is no Pre-Quiz for 2.01.

The calculator will find the average rate of change of the given function on the given interval, with steps shown.

2.1 average rate of changeap calculus formula
  • In general, you can skip the multiplication sign, so `5x` is equivalent to `5*x`.
  • In general, you can skip parentheses, but be very careful: e^3x is `e^3x`, and e^(3x) is `e^(3x)`.
  • Also, be careful when you write fractions: 1/x^2 ln(x) is `1/x^2 ln(x)`, and 1/(x^2 ln(x)) is `1/(x^2 ln(x))`.
  • If you skip parentheses or a multiplication sign, type at least a whitespace, i.e. write sin x (or even better sin(x)) instead of sinx.
  • Sometimes I see expressions like tan^2xsec^3x: this will be parsed as `tan^(2*3)(x sec(x))`. To get `tan^2(x)sec^3(x)`, use parentheses: tan^2(x)sec^3(x).
  • Similarly, tanxsec^3x will be parsed as `tan(xsec^3(x))`. To get `tan(x)sec^3(x)`, use parentheses: tan(x)sec^3(x).
  • From the table below, you can notice that sech is not supported, but you can still enter it using the identity `sech(x)=1/cosh(x)`.
  • If you get an error, double-check your expression, add parentheses and multiplication signs where needed, and consult the table below.
  • All suggestions and improvements are welcome. Please leave them in comments.
