- (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).
