Complete the following statements:
Let y=f(x) be defined on an open interval I and let at a ∈ I. For x ∈ I, x ≠ a, the number
∆y/∆x= f(x)−f(a)/ x−a
is called the ..............rate of change of y with respect to x over the interval [a,x], if a < x, or over the interval [x,a], if x < a.
If the limit
lim ∆y/ ∆x = lim f(x)−f(a)/ x−a
x→ a ∆x→ 0
of these................. rates of change , then it is called the................ rate of change of y with respect to x at x=a.
