This video tutorial covers the concepts of average and instantaneous rates of change. The average rate of change is explained as the slope between two points on a continuous function, while the instantaneous rate of change is the slope at a single point, found using derivatives. Examples are provided to illustrate these concepts, including calculations for a given polynomial function. The video concludes with a brief mention of the mean value theorem, which will be discussed in the next video.

What is the average rate of change equivalent to?

• The derivative at a point
