OBSERVATIONS:
An average rate of change of a function is ALWAYS found by finding the slope of a secant line from time “a” to time “b”.
An Instantaneous rate of change of a function is found by finding the slope of the tangent line at time “a”. (the derivative!)Sometimes an instantaneous rate can be
estimated with an average rate if an equation is not known!
