1 Section 2.1 – Average and Instantaneous Velocity

2 VOCABULARY FIRST AVERAGE Velocity INSTANTANEOUS Velocity SPEED Slope of the secant line of a position function Slope of the tangent line Approximated using slope of secant line Found exactly using the first derivative The absolute value of velocity!!!

3 Given the curve: x f(x) x+h f(x+h)

4 NUMERICALLY A. Find the average velocity over the interval 1 < t < 3. B. Using appropriate units, explain the meaning of your answer. 0.9 represents the average meters per hour of a particle from t = 1 hour to t = 3 hours

5 NUMERICALLY A. Find the average velocity over the interval 0 < t < 4 B. Using appropriate units, explain the meaning of your answer. 1.25 represents the average meters per hour of a particle from t = 0 to t = 4 hours

6 NUMERICALLY A. Estimate the velocity at t = 5. Note: velocity implies INSTANTANEOUS velocity B. Using appropriate units, explain the meaning of your answer. The velocity is approximately 0.733 meters per hour at t = 5 hours.

7 GRAPHICALLY Find the average rate of change of f(x) on [-2, 2] Estimate the instantaneous rate of change of f(x) at x = 0

8 Find the average velocity of the ship in the first two hours Estimate the velocity of the ship after 75 minutes

9 Find the average rate of change of the function over the interval –3 < x < -1. Find the average rate of change of the function over the interval [1, 9]. Find the average rate of change of the function over the interval [1, 3], rounding to three decimal places.

10 Section 2.2 Average and Instantaneous Rate of Change The Derivative of a Function at a Point

11 Given the graph of f below on [-10,9], where does f ‘ (x) NOT exist? X X X X X X X X X
