A rate of change relates a change in an output quantity to a change in an input quantity. The average rate of change is determined using only the beginning and ending data. See
[link] .
Identifying points that mark the interval on a graph can be used to find the average rate of change. See
[link] .
Comparing pairs of input and output values in a table can also be used to find the average rate of change. See
[link] .
An average rate of change can also be computed by determining the function values at the endpoints of an interval described by a formula. See
[link] and
[link] .
The average rate of change can sometimes be determined as an expression. See
[link] .
A function is increasing where its rate of change is positive and decreasing where its rate of change is negative. See
[link] .
A local maximum is where a function changes from increasing to decreasing and has an output value larger (more positive or less negative) than output values at neighboring input values.
A local minimum is where the function changes from decreasing to increasing (as the input increases) and has an output value smaller (more negative or less positive) than output values at neighboring input values.
Minima and maxima are also called extrema.
We can find local extrema from a graph. See
[link] and
[link] .
The highest and lowest points on a graph indicate the maxima and minima. See
[link] .

Can the average rate of change of a function be constant?
Yes, the average rate of change of all linear functions is constant.
Bacteria doesn't produce energy they are dependent upon their substrate in case of lack of nutrients they are able to make spores which helps them to sustain in harsh environments
_Adnan
But not all bacteria make spores, l mean Eukaryotic cells have Mitochondria which acts as powerhouse for them, since bacteria don't have it, what is the substitution for it?
Assimilatory nitrate reduction is a process that occurs in some microorganisms, such as bacteria and archaea, in which nitrate (NO3-) is reduced to nitrite (NO2-), and then further reduced to ammonia (NH3).
Elkana
This process is called assimilatory nitrate reduction because the nitrogen that is produced is incorporated in the cells of microorganisms where it can be used in the synthesis of amino acids and other nitrogen products
There are nothing like emergency disease but there are some common medical emergency which can occur simultaneously like Bleeding,heart attack,Breathing difficulties,severe pain heart stock.Hope you will get my point .Have a nice day ❣️

define infection ,prevention and control
Innocent
I think infection prevention and control is the avoidance of all things we do that gives out break of infections and promotion of health practices that promote life
