Step-by-step explanation:
Since we are trying to find a <em>rate</em> at which W(t) changes, we must find the <em>derivative</em> at <em>t</em> = 3.
We are given 2 close answer choices that would have the same <em>numerical</em> answer but different <em>meanings</em>:
- (A)
- (B)
If we look at answer choice (A), we see that our units would simply just be volume. It would not have the units of a rate of change. Yes, it may be the closest numerically correct answer, but it does not tell us the <em>rate</em> at which the volume would be changing and it is not a derivative.
If we look at answer choice (B), we see that our units would be cm³/s, and that is most certainly a rate of change. Answer choice (B) is also a <em>derivative</em> at <em>t</em> = 3, and a derivative tells us what <em>rate</em> something is changing.
∴ Answer choice (B) will give us the best estimate for the value of the instantaneous rate of change of W(t) when <em>t</em> = 3.
