f(h) − b
And equation of tangent is y – b = (x – a)
h−a
f(a + h) − f(a)
Definition : The instantaneous rate of change of f(x) with respect to x is defined as f(x) = lim
h→0
,
h
provided the limit exists.
Note : To use the word 'instantaneous', x may not be representing time. We usually use the word 'rate
of change' to mean 'instantaneous rate of change'.
