This Instantaneous Rates of Change instructional video also includes:
Here's a great lesson that looks at slope as an instantaneous change. Using an estimated tangent line, the presenter shows the class how to find an approximation for the instantaneous rate of change. Scholars determine the slope of the tangent line at a given point to solve instantaneous rates of change problems.
