(b) Find the (instantaneous) rate of change of y at x = 5.
In the previous part, we found the average rate of change for several intervals of decreasing size starting at x = 5. The instantaneous rate of
change of fat x = 5 is the limit of the average rate of change over the interval [x, x + h] as h approaches 0. This is given by the derivative in the
following limit.
lim
h→0
-
f(x + h) − f(x)
h
The first step to find this limit is to compute f(x + h). Recall that this means replacing the input variable x with the expression x + h in the rule
defining f.
f(x + h) = (x + h)² - 5(x+ h)

The second step for finding the derivative of fat x is to find the difference f(x + h) − f(x).
