Average rate (chord)

The dashed line shows the average rate from t=0 to t=tf. As the time interval shrinks toward zero, the chord slope approaches:

  • A

    The rate constant k

  • B

    Infinity

  • C

    The instantaneous rate

  • D

    Zero

Explanation

Limit of average rate as Δt -> 0 is the instantaneous rate at that time.
