How do you know if a function has a constant or variable rate of change?
If the graph is a non-vertical straight line, then the rate of change is constant. If the line is curved, then the rate of change (slope) varies.
What does it mean if a function has a constant rate of change?
if a number can change randomly it is called a variable
A word for a constant rate of change?
In mathematics, a constant rate of change is called a slope. For linear functions, the slope would describe the curve of the function. The world "constant" in this context means the slope and therefore angle of the curve will not change.
Why the differentiation of constant is zero?
The differentiation of a constant is zero because a constant value does not change with respect to the variable being differentiated. The derivative measures the rate of change of a function, and since a constant has no change, its derivative is zero.
How to find the constant rate of change?
To find the constant rate of change is by taking the final minus initial over the initial.
