4 1.1 Rates of Cange and te Slope of a Curve Te speed of a veicle is usuall epressed in terms of kilometres per our. Tis is an epression of rate of cange. It is te cange in position, in kilometres, wit respect to te cange in time, in ours. Tis value can represent an average rate of cange or an instantaneous rate of cange. Tat is, if our veicle travels 80 km in 1, te average rate of cange is 80 km/. However, tis epression does not provide an information about our movement at different points during te our. Te rate ou are travelling at a particular instant is called instantaneous rate of cange. Tis is te information tat our speedometer provides. In tis section, ou will eplore ow te slope of a line can be used to calculate an average rate of cange, and ow ou can use tis knowledge to estimate instantaneous rate of cange. You will consider te slope of two tpes of lines: secants and tangents. Secants are lines tat connect two points tat lie on te same curve. Secant PQ Q P Tangents are lines tat run parallel to, or in te same direction as, te curve, toucing it at onl one point. Te point at wic te tangent touces te grap is called te tangent point.

7 Solution 1. In tis problem, volume is dependent on time, so V is te dependent variable and t is te independent variable. For te rate of cange, V is epressed wit respect to t, or V. Since te volume in tis problem is t epressed in cubic centimetres, and time is epressed in seconds, te units for te rate of cange are cubic centimetres per second (cm 3 /s).. a) Calculate te slope of te secant using te formula ΔV V V 1 Δ t t t 1 i) Te endpoints for te interval 1 t 30 are (1, ) and (30, ).

ΔV Δ t Te slope of te secant represents te average rate of cange, wic in tis problem is te average rate at wic te volume of te elium is canging over te interval. Te units for tese solutions are cubic centimetres per second (cm 3 /s). b) Te positive rate of cange during tese intervals suggests tat te volume of te elium is increasing, so te balloon is epanding. 3. a) Volume of Helium in a Balloon V 500 Volume (cm 3 ) P(1, 1436) 500 Q(16.5, 500) Time (s) t 1.1 Rates of Cange and te Slope of a Curve MHR 7
8 Tis grap illustrates ow te volume of te balloon increases over time. Te slope of te tangent represents te instantaneous rate of cange of te volume at te tangent point. To find te instantaneous rate of cange of te volume at 1 s, sketc an approimation of te tangent passing toug te point P(1, 1436). Coose a second point on te line, Q(16.5, 500), and calculate te slope. ΔV Δ t At 1 s, te volume of te elium in te balloon is increasing at a rate of approimatel 08 cm 3 /s. b) Te slopes of te tree secants in question are 305.6, 69.4, and Notice tat as te interval becomes smaller, te slope of te secant gets closer to te slope of te tangent. You could calculate a secant slope tat was closer to te slope of te tangent if ou ad data for smaller intervals. << >> KEY CONCEPTS Average rate of cange refers to te rate of cange of a function over an interval. It corresponds to te slope of te secant connecting te two endpoints of te interval. Instantaneous rate of cange refers to te rate of cange at a specific point. It corresponds to te slope of te tangent passing troug a single point, or tangent point, on te grap of a function. An estimate of te instantaneous rate of cange can be obtained b calculating te average rate of cange over te smallest interval for wic tere is data. An estimate of instantaneous rate of cange can also be determined using te slope of a tangent drawn on a grap. However, bot metods are limited b te accurac of te data or te accurac of te sketc. Communicate Your Understanding C1 Wat is te difference between average rate of cange and instantaneous rate of cange.

24 1.3 Limits Te Greek matematician Arcimedes (c B.C.) developed a proof of te formula for te area of a circle, A πr. His metod, known as te metod of eaustion, involved calculating te area of regular polgons (meaning teir sides are equal) tat were inscribed in te circle. Tis means tat te were drawn inside te circle suc tat teir vertices touced te circumference, as sown in te diagram. Te area of te polgon provided an estimate of te area of te circle. As Arcimedes increased te number of sides of te polgon, its sape came closer to te sape of a circle. For eample, as sown ere, an octagon provides a muc better estimate of te area of a circle tan a square does. Te area of a eadecagon, a polgon wit 16 sides, would provide an even better estimate, and so on. Wat about a mriagon, a polgon wit sides? Wat appens to te estimate as te number of sides approaces infinit? Arcimedes metod of finding te area of a circle is based on te concept of a limit. Te circle is te limiting sape of te polgon. As te number of sides gets larger, te area of te polgon approaces its limit, te sape of a circle, witout ever becoming an actual circle. In Section 1., ou used a similar strateg to estimate te instantaneous rate of cange of a function at a single point. Your estimate became increasingl accurate as te interval between two points was made smaller. Using limits, te interval can be made infinitel small, approacing zero. As tis appens, te slope of te secant approaces its limiting value te slope of te tangent. In tis section, ou will eplore limits and metods for calculating tem.

25 In te development of te formula A πr, Arcimedes not onl approaced te area of te circle from te inside, but from te outside as well. He calculated te area of a regular polgon tat circumscribed te circle, meaning tat it surrounded te circle, wit eac of its sides toucing te circle s circumference. As te number of sides to te polgon was increased, its sape and area became closer to tat of a circle. Arcimedes approac can also be applied to determining te limit of a function. A limit can be approaced from te left side and from te rigt side, called left-and limits and rigt-and limits. To evaluate a left-and limit, we use values tat are smaller tan, or on te left side of te value being approaced. To evaluate a rigt-and limit we use values tat are larger tan, or on te rigt side of te value being approaced. In eiter case, te value is ver close to te approaced value.
