(a) -1.bar811.¯¯¯¯81
(b) -22
(c) -0.bar80.¯8

Explanation:

(a) Given V=IRV=IR
For R=1,R=1, I=2/1=2AI=21=2A
For R=1.1,R=1.1, I=2/1.1=1.bar81AI=21.1=1.¯¯¯¯81A
:. the average rate of change of I with respect to R in the interval of interest is=(2-1.bar81)/(1-1.1)=-1.bar81

(b) I=V/R
=>I=2/R
To find rate of change we differentiate function I with respect to Resistance R.
(dI)/(dR)=2xx(-1)R^-2
=>(dI)/(dR)=-2R^-2
ROC at R=1Omega
(dI)/(dR)|_1=-2xx(1)^-2
=>(dI)/(dR)=-2

(c) R=V/I
=>R=2/I
To find rate of change we differentiate function R with respect to Current I
=>(dR)/(dI)=-2I^-2
ROC at I=1.5A
(dR)/(dI)|_1.5=-2xx(1.5)^-2
(dR)/(dI)=-0.bar8
