Chapter 1
Rates of Change
Our world is in a constant state of change. Understanding the
nature of change and the rate at which it takes place enables
us to make important predictions and decisions. For example,
climatologists monitoring a hurricane measure atmospheric
pressure, humidity, wind patterns, and ocean temperatures.
These variables affect the severity of the storm. Calculus plays
a significant role in predicting the storm’s development as these
variables change. Similarly, calculus is used to analyse change in
many other fields, from the physical, social, and medical sciences to business and
economics.
By the end of this chapter, you will
describe examples of real-world applications of rates of change, represented in a variety of
ways
describe connections between the average rate of change of a function that is smooth over
an interval and the slope of the corresponding secant, and between the instantaneous rate
of change of a smooth function at a point and the slope of the tangent at that point
make connections, with or without graphing technology, between an approximate value of
the instantaneous rate of change at a given point on the graph of a smooth function and
average rate of change over intervals containing the point recognize, through investigation
with or without technology, graphical and numerical examples of limits, and explain the
reasoning involved
make connections, for a function that is smooth over the interval axah, between the
average rate of change of the function over
this interval and the value of the expression
f(ah)f(a)
h , and between the instantaneous
rate of change of the function at x a and the value of the limit lim f(ah)f(a)
h→ 0 h
compare, through investigation, the calculation
of instantaneous rate of change at a point
(a, f (a)) for polynomial functions, with and without
simplifying the expression f(ah)f(a) before h
substituting values of h that approach zero
generate, through investigation using technology, a table of values showing the
instantaneous
rate of change of a polynomial function, f (x),
for various values of x, graph the ordered pairs, recognize that the graph represents a
function
called the derivative, f ′(x) or dy , and make dx
connections between the graphs of f (x) and f ′( x ) or y and dy
dx
determine the derivatives of polynomial functions by simplifying the algebraic expression
f(xh)f(x) and then taking the limit of the h
simplified expression as h approaches zero

Alicia is considering a career as either a demographer or a climatologist. Demographers
study changes in human populations with respect to births, deaths, migration, education
level, employment, and income. Climatologists study both the short-term and long-term
effects of change in climatic conditions. How are the concepts of average rate of change and
instantaneous rate of change used in these two professions to analyse data, solve problems,
and make predictions?
