In Summary
Key Ideas• The average rate of change is the change in the quantity represented by the dependent variable divided by the
corresponding change in the quantity represented by the independent variable over an interval. Algebraically, the average rate of change for any function over the interval can be determined by
Average rate of change
• Graphically, the average rate of change for any function over theinterval is equivalent to the slope of the secant line passing through two points and
Average rate of
Need to Know• Average rate of change is expressed using the units of the two quantities that are related to each other.• A positive average rate of change indicates that the quantity represented by the dependent variable is increasing on
the specified interval, compared with the quantity represented by the independent variable. Graphically, this is indicated by a secant line that has a positive slope (the secant line rises from left to right).
• A negative average rate of change indicates that the quantity represented by the dependent variable is decreasing onthe specified interval, compared with the quantity represented by the independent variable. Graphically, this is indicated by a secant line that has a negative slope (the secant line falls from left to right).
• All linear relationships have a constant rate of change. Average rate of change calculations over different intervals of the independent variable give the same result.
• Nonlinear relationships do not have a constant rate of change. Average rate of change calculations over differentintervals of the independent variable give different results.
