TERM 1
Increments
DEFINITION 1
When a particle moves from one point in the plane to
another, the net changes in its coordinates are called
increments.
TERM 2
Average Speed
DEFINITION 2
Interval of length "h" and length of time.delta y 16(t0 + h)^2
- 16(t0)^2delta t h
TERM 3
Limiting Value
DEFINITION 3
You need to find this if you're not looking for the average
TERM 4
Average Rate of Change
DEFINITION 4
The average rate of change y=f(x) with respect to "x" over
the interval [x1, x2] is =delta y f(x2)-f(x1)delta x x2-
x1=f(x1+h)-f(x1) hh cannot equal 0
TERM 5
Tangency of a Curve
DEFINITION 5
1) Start with the scant of PQ2)Find the limiting value of the
secant slope as Q approaching P along the curve.3)If the limit
exists, take it to be the slope of the curve at P and define the
tangent to the curve at P to be the line through P with this
slope.
