  1. Introduction Velocities Tangent Lines Rates of Change Driving From Kansas To Virginia 1. Distance: 1 , 300 mi , driving time: 3 days 2. v avg = distance traveled = 1 , 300 mi ≈ 433 . 33 mi day, time needed 3 days useful to plan where to book hotels along the way, etc. 3. Average velocity is always v avg = s t 4. Suppose after driving 200 miles in the first four hours (you’re in Missouri), a highway patrolman stops you and reveals that you’ve been going 65 mph in an area in which the speed limit is 55 mph . v = 200 mi 4 hrs = 50 mph ??? 5. Even sensible average velocity can look strange: 433 . 33 mi day = 433 . 33 mi 24 hr ≈ 18 . 06mi hr 6. We need a way to define instantaneous velocity. logo1 Bernd Schr¨ oder Louisiana Tech University, College of Engineering and Science Why Do We Need Derivatives?
