how do you do rate of change?
Rate of change of what?
rate of change=1/time
To calculate the rate of change, you need to determine how much a quantity changes with respect to another quantity. The rate of change measures the average rate at which one quantity is changing with respect to another quantity.
Here's the general formula for rate of change:
Rate of Change = (Change in Quantity)/(Change in Another Quantity)
To compute the rate of change, you need to follow these steps:
1. Identify the two quantities involved: Let's call them y and x. The rate of change measures how y changes concerning x.
2. Determine the initial and final values of both quantities: Find the value of y at the beginning (x₁, y₁) and the value of y at the end (x₂, y₂).
3. Calculate the change in quantity: Subtract the initial value of y from the final value of y. This is often denoted as Δy = y₂ - y₁.
4. Calculate the change in another quantity: Subtract the initial value of x from the final value of x. This is often denoted as Δx = x₂ - x₁.
5. Divide the change in quantity by the change in another quantity: Divide Δy by Δx to get the rate of change.
Rate of Change = Δy/Δx
The result will give you the average rate of change between the two points.
