Question 1

What is the formula for Average Rate of Change?

(f(b) - f(a)) / (b - a)
(b - a) / (f(b) - f(a))
(f(a) + f(b)) / (b - a)

💡 Hint: Think about how distance is divided by time.

Question 2

True or False: The instantaneous rate of change is found by evaluating the slope of the tangent line.

True
False

💡 Hint: Recall the definitions of tangent lines.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

A cyclist travels along a path described by the equation D(t) = t^3 - 12t^2 + 36t, where D is distance in meters and t is time in seconds. Calculate the AROC from t = 1 to t = 5 and the IROC at t = 3.

💡 Hint: Calculate function values first for AROC and derive before substituting for IROC.

Challenge 2 Hard

The height of a projectile is given by h(t) = -4.9t^2 + 20t + 5. Determine the AROC from t = 0 to t = 3 and the IROC at t = 2.

💡 Hint: Apply the same approach: compute heights, then find derivatives.
