Math Problem Statement
As a check on our work in part (a), notice that if we let a = 3, then
f ′(a) = f ′(3) =
Solution
To evaluate , you'll need the derivative of the function from part (a). Since you haven't provided that function, I can guide you on how to proceed.
If you have the function , follow these steps:
- Find the derivative: Compute , the derivative of .
- Substitute : Plug into , i.e., calculate .
If you share the function , I can compute the derivative and evaluate it for you.
Would you like further details or any clarification?
Here are five related questions to help further:
- What is the original function from part (a)?
- Do you need help finding the derivative of any function?
- How does evaluating the derivative at a point help in analyzing the behavior of the function at that point?
- Do you need assistance with differentiating specific types of functions (e.g., polynomials, trigonometric functions)?
- Would you like to explore how the value of relates to the slope of the tangent line at ?
Tip: Remember that gives the instantaneous rate of change of the function at the point , which corresponds to the slope of the tangent line at that point.
