Average Rate of Change vs. Instantaneous Rate of Change

The following applet was designed to help students to see the geometric interpretations of the average rate of change of a function f (from x = a to x = b) compared with the instantaneous rate of change of this same function f (at x = a). Key questions follow the applet.
