Does the rate of change have to be negative?
no... the sign indicates whether the rate of change is increasing or decreasing. It is only negative if the rate is decreasing over time.
What is the difference between positive negative and constant rate of change?
left to right positive,right to left negative rate
What is an example of a Rate of Change related to zoology?
The population of a species over a period of time will change according to some rate of change.
What is an example of a positive rate of change?
a car going from stoplight to next intersection accelerates at a positive rate of velocity change
When do you use exponential functions?
There are several uses for those; basically any situation where a rate of change is proportional to a quantity. The growth of a population growth under ideal conditions (with a positive exponent) and radioactive decay (with a negative exponent) are common example.There are several uses for those; basically any situation where a rate of change is proportional to a quantity.

Will the rate of change be positive or negative?
It can be positive or negative, or even both - at different stages.For example, the rate of change of the balance in my bank account is positive at the end of the month - when my pay goes in - but it is negative for most of the rest of the time while I am spending it!

What the difference between negative rate of change and positive rate of change?
A quantity with a negative rate of change becomes smaller as time goes on. A quantity with a positive rate of change becomes larger as time goes on.
What is the difference between positive negative and constant rate of change?
left to right positive,right to left negative rate
Speed is an example of a rate What is a rate?
Rate of change of distance is called speed.Rate is defined as change with respect to time.
What is the every-day use of a derivative?
To find the rate of change. Velocity, for example, is the rate of change of distance - in a specified direction. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity.

What is an example of rate of change?
The number you read on the speedometer of your car is the present rate of change of the distance you've covered.
What is an example of a positive rate of change?
a car going from stoplight to next intersection accelerates at a positive rate of velocity change
When the rate of change between any two points on a line is negative What is the slope of the line?
No
Can acceleration be a negative number?
Yes, the scalar value of acceleration can be a negative number. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. If the speed of an object is reducing (it is slowing down), then the object is subject to a negative acceleration. An example is when you apply the brakes in a car. The brakes change the speed of the car from a higher value to a lower value, thus imposing a negative acceleration. Colloquially, people speak of deceleration, however the correct term is negative acceleration.
When you reduce a negative fraction is the answer negative or positive?
still negative for example -6/12 reduces to -1/2 the sign does not change
