This Calculus AB/BC - Average and Instantaneous Rate of Change ap test prep also includes:
Ramp up the average rate of change—instantly. Learners use their knowledge of the formula to find the average rate of change to find the instantaneous rate of change. The presenter shows pupils an interactive that demonstrates finding the slope of a secant line as it gets close to being a tangent line. Using limits, scholars calculate the instantaneous rate of change or the slope of the tangent line at a point and then practice what they learned.
