Rate of Change

DEFINE THIS IN SIMPLE TERMS

The rate of change refers to how a quantity changes over time or between two points. It measures how fast or slow something is changing. It can be calculated by dividing the change in the quantity by the change in time or distance. It provides information on the direction and magnitude of the change, whether it is increasing or decreasing, and how quickly it is occurring.

Rate of change, in simple terms, refers to how much a quantity changes over a specific period of time. It is a measure of how quickly or slowly something is changing. For example, if we are measuring the rate of change of the temperature over an hour, a high rate of change would indicate a rapid increase or decrease in temperature, while a low rate of change would indicate a more gradual change.

Rate of change refers to the speed at which something is changing over a given period of time. It measures how much an entity, such as a quantity or a variable, is increasing or decreasing with respect to another variable, usually time. A positive rate of change indicates an increase or growth, while a negative rate of change indicates a decrease or decline. The rate of change is calculated by dividing the difference in the values of the quantity by the difference in the corresponding values of the other variable.
