1. Homework Statement [/b]
A cyclist is riding on a path modeled by f(x)= 0.08x where f and f(x) are measured in miles. Find the rate of change in elevation when x = 2
(f(∆x + x ) - f(x))/∆x
∆x[tex]\stackrel{lim}{\rightarrow}[/tex] 0
I plugged everything into the formula and got
.00008 / .0001 = .08.
Is this the correct answer?
I think I'm doing something wrong here.
