Test 17 18 19## Average rate of change 20 21Average rate of change between $x=[a,b]$ given two points $P(a, f(a))$ and $Q(b, f(b))$ is the gradient $m$ of line $\overleftrightarrow{PQ}$ 22 23## Instantaneous rate of change 24Tangent to a curve at a point - has same slope as graph at this point. 25Values for $\Delta$ are always approximations. 26 27Secant - line passing through two points on a curve 28Chord - line segment joining two points on a curve 29 30Instantaneous rate of change is estimated by using two given points on each side of the concerned point. Evaluate as in average rate of change. 31 32Each point $Q_n<P$ becomes closer to $Q_P$. 33 34## Limits and Continuity 35 36(see spec notes) 37 38## Position and velocity 39 40Position - location relative to a reference point 41Average velocity - average rate of change in position over time 42Instantaneous velocity - calculated the same way as averge $\Delta$ 43 44## Derivatives 45 46**Derivative** denoted by $f^\prime(x)$: 47 48$$f^\prime(x)=\lim_{h \rightarrow 0}{{f(x+h)-f(x)} \over h}$$ 49 50**Tangent line** of function $f$ at point $M(a, f(a))$ is the line through $M$ with gradient $f^\prime(a)$.
