Average Velocity and Instantaneous Velocity

In a five-hour trip you traveled 300 miles. What was the average velocity for the whole trip? The average velocity is nothing else that the average rate of change of the distance with respect to time. This idea will be used to discussed the idea of instantaneous velocity as well as the instantaneous rate of change of any continuous function 2

Sided Average velocity How does the police determine your velocity after 2 seconds? 3 Geometrically, this number represents the slope of the line segment passing through the points (2,400) and (4,1600). Slope of the secant line is

Exercise 1 Estimate the average velocity on each of the intervals below. Include the units. Sketch on the graph the lines used to estimate those average velocities and estimate their slopes. Now, calculate those averages using the formula that defines the function. Conjecture what is the average velocity when the interval is [2,b], b greater than 2 but "very" close to 2. Estimate 4

Exercise 2 Estimate the average velocity on each of the intervals below. Include the units. Sketch on the graph the lines used to estimate those average velocities and estimate their slopes. Now, calculate those averages using the formula that defines the function. Conjecture what is the average velocity when the interval is [b,2], b less than 2 but "very" close to 2. Estimate 5

Left Instantaneous velocity Instantaneous velocity at t=2 from the left Any point to the left of 2 can be written as 6

Right Instantaneous velocity Instantaneous velocity at t=2 from the right, Any point to the right of 2 can be written as 7

Since it is said that the instantaneous velocity at t=2 is 400. Instantaneous velocity (or simply velocity) at t=2 is the instantaneous rate of change of the distance function at t=2. 8 Instantaneous Velocity at t=2

9

Geometric Interpretation of the Instantaneous Velocity at t=2 The instantaneous velocity at t=2, v(2) is the slope of the tangent line to the function d=d(t) at t=2. 10

Equation Of The Tangent Line at t = 2 Using The Instantaneous Velocity Point: (2,400) Slope: v(2)=400 Equation of tangent line at the point (2,400), or when t=2 is 11

COMPARING THE GRAPH OF THE FUNCTION AND THE TANGENT LINE NEARBY THE TANGENCY POINT 12

The graphs of and are displayed on windows where the domain are intervals "shrinking" around t=2. 13 a. In your graphing calculator reproduce the graphs above. Make sure you in each case the windows have the same dimensions.

14 In a paragraph, and in your own language, explain what happens to the graphs of the distance function and its tangent line at t=2, when the interval in the domain containing 2 "shrinks".

Important Relationship 15 Nearby t=2, the values of are about the same. It is, nearby t=2. Or
