Homework Statement
When I looked a physics for a while, I learned that average velocity is the sum of the initial and final velocities divided by two. However, I looked through one of my calculus books and it defined average velocity as the change in displacement over the change in time. Could someone please explain why this is?
Homework Equations
[itex]\frac{V_{2}+V_{1}}{2}[/itex]
[itex]\frac{\Delta D}{\Delta T}[/itex]
The Attempt at a Solution
I did some research and wasn't able to find much. I was just told what the calculus definition was and I already knew that.
