1. Warm up 1.Find the solutions. 2.Find the interval of decrease. (-1, 0) (5, 0) x > 2

2. Rate of Change The rate of change is the ratio of the change of one quantity to a change in another quantity.

3. Constant Rate of Change The slope of a nonvertical line is the ratio of the vertical change (rise) to the horizontal change (run) between any two points on the line.

4. EXAMPLE 1 Find a rate of change INTERNET CAFE The table shows the cost of using a computer at an Internet cafe for a given amount of time. Find the rate of change in cost with respect to time. Time (hours) 246 Cost (dollars)71421 14 – 7 4 – 2 = 7 2 = 3.5 = ANSWER The rate of change in cost is $3.50 per hour.

7. Rate of Change Example 4 The table shows the amount of water evaporating from a swimming pool on a hot day. Find the rate of change in gallons with respect to time. m = 2.25

8. Rate of Change 5. Where is the greatest (steepest) rate of change on the graph? What is the value? m = -7/2

9. Average Rate of Change (no graph) You will have to plug in the x-value in order to find the y-value to get the ordered pairs.

10. Example 6 Find the average rate of change of f(x) = 2x 2 – 3 when x 1 = 2 and x 2 = 4.

11. Example 7 Find the average rate of change of f(x) = x 3 – 3x when x 1 = -2 and x 2 = 0.

25. Walking Task To begin a class discussion of speed, Dwain and Beth want to stage a walking race down the school hallway. After some experimentation with a stop watch, and using the fact that the flooring tiles measure 1 foot by 1 foot, they decide that the distance of the race should be 40 feet and that they will need about 10 seconds to go 40 feet at a walking pace. They decide that the race should end in a tie, so that it will be exciting to watch, and finally they make a table showing how their positions will vary over time. Your job is to help Dwain and Beth make sure that they know how they should walk in order to match their plans as closely as possible.
