2.2 The Derivative: Instantaneous
Rate of Change

Checkpoint 3

We still have only an approximation to the instantaneous speed at `t=5`, but the approximation is better, because the time interval is smaller. What do you think the average speed will be if we choose `Delta t=0.005`? Would it surprise you if the answer is `10.005c` m/sec? Check it! Then do the calculation one more time with `Delta t=0.0005`.
