The average number of vehicles waiting in a line to enter a parking ramp can be modeled by the function
f(x) =
2(1-x)
%3D
where x is a quantity between 0 and 1 known as the traffic intensity. Find the rate of change of the number of vehicles
in line with respect to the traffic intensity for x = 0.4.
The rate of change for x 0.4 is .
(Simplify your answer. Type an integer or decimal rounded to four decimal places as needed.)
