Rate of Change
The relation between two quantities which displays how much greater one quantity is than another is called ratio.
Slope
The change in the vertical distances is known as the rise and the change in the horizontal distances is known as the run. So, the rise divided by run is nothing but a slope value. It is calculated with simple algebraic equations as:

Modeling Advertising Awareness
A new cereal product is introduced through an advertising campaign to a population of
1 million potential customers. The rate at which the population hears about the product
is assumed to be proportional to the number of people who are not yet aware of the
product. By the end of 1 year, half of the population has heard of the product. How
many will have heard of it by the end of 2 years?
Solution Let y be the number (in millions) of people at time i who have heard of the
product. This means that (1 – y) is the number of people who have not heard of it, and
dy/dt is the rate at which the population hears about the product. From the given
assumption, you can write the differential equation as shown.

You can solve this equation using separation of variables.
dy = k(1 – y) dt

- In|1 - y| = kt + c,
In|1 – y| = - kt – C,
1- y = e-k-C,
y = 1- Ce-ki
Separate variables.
Integrate.
Multiply cach side by - 1.
Assume y < 1.
General solution
To solve for the constants C and k, use the initial conditions. That is, because y = 0
when i = 0, you can determine that C = 1. Similarly, because y = 0.5 when t = 1, it
follows that 0.5 = 1 - e-4, which implies that
k = In 2 - 0.693.
So, the particular solution is
y = 1- e-0.69N
Particular solution
This model is shown in Figure 6.15. Using the model, you can determine that the
number of people who have heard of the product after 2 years is
