@phi @Abhisar @Nurali
they want the change in f(t) divided by change in t
i.e. (f(5) - f(3) )/ (5-3)
the average rate means at certain INITIAL point, what was the rate at certain ENDING point, what was the rate how many interval or segments, in between say for example, if y ou're jogging and you start with an initial speed of 2miles per hour at second 0, beginning and you end with a speed of 4 miles per hour at second 25 then your average speed will end up being \(\frac{4-2}{25-0}\ or 2/25 miles per second
woops he average rate means at certain INITIAL point, what was the rate at certain ENDING point, what was the rate how many interval or segments, in between say for example, if y ou're jogging and you start with an initial speed of 2miles per hour at second 0, beginning and you end with a speed of 4 miles per hour at second 25 then your average speed will end up being \(\cfrac{4-2}{25-0}\) or 2/25 miles per second
@jdoe0001 the standard definition of "average rate of change" is given here (for example) http://www.mathwords.com/a/average_rate_change.htm or here http://algebralab.org/studyaids/studyaid.aspx?file=Calculus_6-22.xml or here http://math.wikia.com/wiki/Average_rate_of_change
