  1. Differentiation and Rates of Change Lesson 3.2B

  2. Rate of Change • Average rate of change • What is the average rate of change from 5.6 hours to 11.35 hours?

  3. Rate of Change • What is the instantaneous rate of change at time t = 9? • This is the slope of the curve when t = 9 What will be the units of the answer?

  4. Remember When? • "Two trains start at the same time heading in opposite directions. The first train … " • The basic relationship was • Also • Average velocity is

  5. Average Velocity • Consider a pumpkin dropped from a height of 150 feet. • Then it's position will be a function of time • Find the average rate of change of distance from 0.5 sec. to 1.25 sec. • Remember rate of change of distance is called velocity

  6. Instantaneous Velocity • Let the change in time (the denominator) get smaller and smaller • Then • That is, the derivative of the position function is the velocity function

  7. Instantaneous Velocity • For any object dropped or thrown up into the air, we know • Where v0 = initial velocity • and s0 = initial position • Then instantaneous velocity = s'(t) • So what about our pumpkin at 2 sec?

  8. Modeling Functions • You will use the regression feature of your calculator to do some of your homework • You are given data in a table • You find a modeling function • Then determine the rate of change of the modeling function

  9. Data Modeling • From the table at the right • Enter data into data matrix ofcalculator • APPS, 6, Current, Clear contents

  10. Using Regression On Calculator • Choose F5 for Calculations • Choose calculationtype (LinReg for this) • Specify columns where x and y values will come from

  11. Using Regression On Calculator • It is possible to store the Regression EQuation to one of the Y= functions

  12. Using Regression On Calculator • When all options areset, press ENTER andthe calculator comesup with an equation approximates your data Note both the original x-y values and the function which approximates the data

  13. Using the Function • Resulting function: • Use function to find Caloriesfor 195 lbs. • C(195) = 5.24This is called extrapolation • Note: It is dangerous to extrapolate beyond the existing data • Consider C(1500) or C(-100) in the context of the problem • The function gives a value but it is not valid

  14. Assignment • Lesson 3.2B • Page 138 • Exercises 89 – 103 odd
