Introduction to Calculus! But first………..
Rates of Change • A rateis a comparison between two quantities of different kinds. • Km per hour • Rpm = revolutions per minute • Liters per gallon • Often represented as a fraction
Average rate of change • Sound familiar?!?!?? • Slope!
Find speed of hair from A to B, B to C and C to D. • Find speed of tortoise (average speed)
Example • New tires have a tread depth of 8mm. After driving for 32 178 km the tread depth was reduced to 2.3mm. What was the wearing rate of the tires in • a. Mm per km traveled? • b. cm per 10 000 km traveled?
