65% of all violent felons in the prison system are repeat offenders. If 43 violent felons are randomly selected, find the probability that
a. Exactly 28 of them are repeat offenders.
b. At most 28 of them are repeat offenders. c. At least 28 of them are repeat offenders. d. Between 22 and 26 (including 22 and 26) of them are repeat offenders.
(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)
=
2xh+h2_

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