Average Rate of Change

The average rate of change is a fundamental concept in mathematics and physics, providing insight into the overall trend of a function or system over a specific interval. It measures the total change in a quantity divided by the total time or distance traveled, offering a concise representation of the overall direction and magnitude of change. This concept is extensively utilized across various fields, from calculus to finance, enabling analysts to interpret trends, forecast future behavior, and make informed decisions based on the observed rates of change within a given system.
