i devnce and send them to mobile inctartly.SeHw B days temaining in your tree trial Consider the following problem A bicydlist is riding on a path function Rx)-.04x), where x and f) are measured in mdes. Find the rate of change of elevation at x- 3H ax)-0.04(10x-) Decide whether the problem can be solved using precalculus or whether caloulus is r equire O The problem can be solved using precalculus O The problem requires calculus to be solved If the problem can be solved using precalculus, solve it. 1f the problem seems to require calculus, use a graphical or numerical approach to estimate the solution ?Type here to search

Explanation / Answer

Solution:- Calculus Since the question Asks for the rate of change at a single point .

We have given that f(x) =0 .04(10x - x^2)

Take the derivative of the function, which will be the following:
y' = 0.04(10-2x).

Now we can simply plug in x = 2, and you get:
y' = 0.04(10-4) = .04(6) = 0.24

Note that we can also solve it by point slope method .
