10-1Limits and MotionThe tangent problem.
What you’ll learn about• Average Velocity• Instantaneous Velocity• Limits Revisited• The Connection to Tangent Lines• The Derivative
… and whyThe derivative is fundamental to all of calculus. It allows us to
analyze rates of change for any function regardless of how complicated it is. The ability to find rates of change is essential in physics, economics, engineering,
and even history.
