1.1 TB - IntroducingCalculusCanChangeOccuratanInstantQuiz

This document is an excerpt from an AP Calculus AB test booklet. It contains 6 multiple choice questions that assess students' understanding of instantaneous rate of change and estimating velocity from position functions. Specifically, the questions ask students to identify the slope of a tangent line as the best estimate of instantaneous rate of change or velocity at given points based on graphical representations of position functions.
