Average Rates of Change and Secant Lines
Rates of Change: Derivative at a Point
Example we studied the speed of a rock falling freely from rest near the surface of the earth. We knew that the rock fell y = 16t2 feet during the first t sec, and we used a sequence of average rates over increasingly short intervals to estimate the rock’s speed at the instant t = 1. What was the rock’s exact speed at this time?
Derivatives The process of calculating a derivative is called differentiation. To emphasize the idea that differentiation is an operation performed on a function y = ƒ(x), we use the notation
