Question

After slowing down, the dragons could fall behind on their journey. What do the dragons need to do in order to ensure that their average rate of change stays the same for the trip? Discuss how the dragons' instantaneous rates of change at different times can affect their average rate of change.

Answer 1

The dragons would have to speed up to balance out the time that they slowed down.

The instantaneous rates of changes are all the individual speeds at given times. If you have some that are slow, you will need to have just as many that are fast to balance it out and ensure they have the correct average speed.
