Introduction
::导言Consider the following situation: You are on a week-long road trip with your friend. When you begin to drive on the 2nd day, you have already driven a total of 200 miles. After 6 hours of driving on the 2nd day, you have driven a total of 500 miles. On average, how many miles did you drive per hour on the 2nd day of the trip?
::考虑一下以下情形: 您正与您的朋友一起旅行一周。 当您在第二天开始驾驶时, 您已经驾驶了总共200英里的车程。 在第二天驾驶了6小时之后, 您已经驾驶了总共500英里的车程。 平均而言, 您在旅行的第二天每小时驾驶了多少英里的车程 ?Average Rate of Change
::平均变化率The graph below shows this situation, with the x- axis representing the number of hours driving (on the 2nd day), and the y- axis representing the number of miles driven. The 1st point on the graph, (0, 200), says that at the beginning of the 2nd day you have already driven 200 miles. The 2nd point on the graph, (6, 500), says that after 6 hours of driving on the 2nd day, you have driven 500 miles total.
::下图显示了这种情况,以x轴代表驾驶时数(第2天),Y轴代表驾驶的英里数。图上的第一个点(0,200)表示,在第2天初,你已经驾驶了200英里。图上的第二个点(6,500)表示,在第2天驾驶了6小时之后,你总共驾驶了500英里。Notice that, in total, during your 6 hours of driving, you have driven 300 miles. The rate at which you drove is 300 miles in 6 hours, or 50 miles per hour. We refer to this rate as the average rate of change because it is an average across the 6 hours. That is, you did not necessarily drive 50 miles every hour. There could have been one hour in which you drove 70 miles, and another in which you drove only 30 miles.
::请注意,在总共6小时的驾驶期间,你驾驶了300英里。你驾驶的车速是6小时300英里,或每小时50英里。我们把这个速度称为平均变化速度,因为这是6小时的平均速度。也就是说,你不一定每小时驾驶50英里。你可能开了一个小时70英里,另一个只开30英里。We can represent the average rate of change on the graph by indicating how much each quantity has changed: The y - values increased by 300, and the x - values increased by 6. The average rate of change is the ratio of these changes in each variable. This is how we can define average rate of change in general:
::我们可以通过说明每个数量变化了多少来代表图中的平均变化率:Y值增加了300,x值增加了6。平均变化率是每个变量中这些变化的比率。这就是我们如何定义总体的平均变化率:Average Rate of Change
::平均变化率Average rate of change = change in y change in x = f ( x 2 ) − f ( x 1 ) x 2 − x 1We can examine the average rate of change of a function, whether it is represented as data, as in the previous example, or by an equation, or graphically.
::我们可以检查一个函数的平均变化率,无论它是作为数据(如前一例),还是以方程式或图形表示的。Notice that the average rate of change of the function f ( x ) = 4 x over any interval is the slope of the line, 4. While a linear function has a constant slope, other functions, such as f ( x ) = x 2 , will not. You will explore this idea in greater detail in your study of calculus.
::注意函数 f( x) = 4x 在任何间隔的平均变化率是线的斜度, 4. 虽然线性函数有一个恒定的斜度, 其他函数, 如 f( x) =x2 则不会。 您将在对微积分的研究中更详细地探讨这个想法 。Examples
::实例Example 1
::例1Find the average rate of change on the given interval:
::查找给定间隔的平均变化率 :f ( x ) = x 2 on [0, 2]
::[ 0, 2] 上的 f(x) =x2Solution:
::解决方案 :f ( x ) = x 2
:xx)=x2
The endpoints of the interval are (0, 0) and (2, 4). Therefore, the change in y is 4 and the change in x is 2. The average rate of change is 4/2 = 2.
::间隔的终点是(0,0)和(2,4),因此,y的变动是4,x的变动是2。 平均变化率为4/2=2。Example 2
::例2Now let's check if our claim regarding the average rate of change of f ( x ) = 4 x is valid for a specific interval. Find the average rate of change on the given interval
::现在让我们检查一下我们关于f(x)=4x平均变化率的索赔是否对特定间隔有效。 查找给定间隔的平均变化率f ( x ) = 4 x on [1, 7]
::[1, 7] 上的 f(x)=4xSolution:
::解决方案 :f ( x ) = 4 x
:xx)=4x
The endpoints of the interval are (1, 4) and (7, 28). Therefore, the change in y is 28 - 4 = 24 and the change in x is 7 − 1 = 6 The average rate of change is 24/6 = 4.
::间隔的终点是(1,4)和(7,28),因此,y的变动为28-4=24,x的变动为7-1=6,平均变动率为24/6=4。Example 3
::例3What is the average rate of change of the function f ( x ) = 3 x 2 on the interval [2, 5]?
::间隔 [2, 5] 的函数 f(x)=3x2 的平均变化速率是多少?Solution:
::解决方案 :The two endpoints are (2, 12) and (5, 75). The average rate of change is 63/3 = 21.
::两个终点是(2、12)和(5、75),平均变动率为63/3=21。Example 4
::例4a) Find the average rate of change of the function f ( x ) = x 2 as x varies from 1 to 3.
::a) 查找函数f(x)=x2的平均变化率,因为x的变动率从1到3不等。Solution:
::解决方案 :The average rate of change is the slope of the line that passes through the two points ( 3 , 9 ) and ( 1 , 1 ) on the graph.
::平均变化率是穿过图中两个点(3,9)和(1,1)的线的斜坡。f ( x 2 ) − f ( x 1 ) x 2 − x 1 = f ( 3 ) − f ( 1 ) 3 − 1 = 9 − 1 3 − 1 = 8 2 = 4
::f(x2)-f(x1)x2-x1=f(3)-f(1)3-1=9-13-1=1=82=4b)如果下午1时的温度为82°F,晚上9时的温度为50°F,在给定时间段的平均温度变化速度是多少?Solution:
::解决方案 :The temperature dropped by 32° over a period of 8 hours: − 32 8 = − 4 , or 4 degrees per hour.
::温度在8小时(每小时328°C4或4°C)内下降32°C。c) Brian drove to town to get some milk. He left at 9 a.m., drove 8 miles north, 5 miles west, 3 miles north, and 2 miles west. He arrived at the store at 9:45 a.m. What was his average rate of change in miles per minute ?
::Brian开车到镇上取牛奶,上午9时离开,向北8英里,向西5英里,向北3英里,向西2英里,上午9时45分抵达商店。Solution:
::解决方案 :Brian drove a total of 18 miles in a total of 45 minutes: 18 mi 45 min = 2 5 miles per minute
::Brian总共驾驶了18英里,总共45分钟:18 mi45分钟=每分钟25英里d) 如果Kelli在下午1时花费5美元,下午2时30分花费7美元,下午4时花费12美元,下午4时30分花费2美元,她平均每小时花费美元的比例是多少?Solution:
::解决方案 :Kelli spent a total of $26 over a total of 3.5 or 7 2 hours. Set up the fraction and then multiply the top and bottom by 2 to remove the fraction from the denominator:
::Kelli在总共3.5或72小时的时间里总共花费了26美元。 设置分数, 然后将顶部和底部乘以2, 从分母中去除分数 :$ 26 7 / 2 h r s × 2 × 2 = $ 52 7 h r s ≈ 7.43 dollars per hour
::2x2=527美元 每小时7.43美元e) What is the average rate of change shown in the graph below?
:e) 下图显示的平均变动率是多少?
Solution:
::解决方案 :The two points in the graph are ( − 6 , − 1 ) a n d ( 7 , 6 ) .
::图表中的两点是(-6,-1)和(7,6)。The average rate of change is the same as the slope of the line. Recall: m = Δ y Δ x = y 2 − y 1 x 2 − x 1 .
::平均变化率与线的斜坡相同。 提醒: myx=y2-y1x2- x1 。m = ( 6 ) − ( − 1 ) ( 7 ) − ( − 6 ) = 7 13
::m=(6)-(-1)(7)-(-6)=713Summary
