Answer:

Rate = 6.7726

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x) = x^x at x =2

Required

The instantaneous rate of change

We have:

f(x) = x^x

The instantaneous rate of change is:

\lim_{h \to 0} \frac{f(a + h) -f(a)}{h}

x =2 implies that: a = 2

So, we have:

a = 2      h = 0.01

\frac{f(a + h) -f(a)}{h} = \frac{f(2 + 0.01) -f(2)}{0.01} = \frac{f(2.01) -f(2)}{0.01} = \frac{2.01^{2.01} - 2^2}{0.01} = 6.840403

Keep reducing h but set a constant at 2

h = 0.001

\frac{f(a + h) -f(a)}{h} = \frac{f(2 + 0.001) -f(2)}{0.001} = \frac{f(2.001) -f(2)}{0.001} = \frac{2.001^{2.001} - 2^2}{0.001} = 6.779327

h = 0.0001

\frac{f(a + h) -f(a)}{h} = \frac{f(2 + 0.0001) -f(2)}{0.0001} = \frac{f(2.0001) -f(2)}{0.0001} = \frac{2.0001^{2.0001} - 2^2}{0.0001} = 6.773262

h = 0.00001

\frac{f(a + h) -f(a)}{h} = \frac{f(2 + 0.00001) -f(2)}{0.00001} = \frac{f(2.00001) -f(2)}{0.00001} = \frac{2.00001^{2.00001} - 2^2}{0.00001} = 6.772656

h = 0.000001

\frac{f(a + h) -f(a)}{h} = \frac{f(2 + 0.000001) -f(2)}{0.000001} = \frac{f(2.000001) -f(2)}{0.000001} = \frac{2.000001^{2.000001} - 2^2}{0.000001} = 6.772595

h = 0.0000001

\frac{f(a + h) -f(a)}{h} = \frac{f(2 + 0.0000001) -f(2)}{0.0000001} = \frac{f(2.0000001) -f(2)}{0.0000001} = \frac{2.0000001^{2.0000001} - 2^2}{0.0000001} = 6.772589

h = 0.00000001

\frac{f(a + h) -f(a)}{h} = \frac{f(2 + 0.00000001) -f(2)}{0.00000001} = \frac{f(2.00000001) -f(2)}{0.00000001} = \frac{2.00000001^{2.00000001} - 2^2}{0.00000001} = 6.772589

Notice that:

\frac{f(a + h) -f(a)}{h} = 6.772589 for h = 0.00000001 and h = 0.0000001

Hence, the instantaneous rate of change is:

Rate = 6.772589

Rate = 6.7726 ---- approximated

Answer:

The real-life distance between the park and the theatre is of 12 km.

Step-by-step explanation:

Scale of 1:400,000

Each means that each centimeter on the map has the real distance of 400,000 cm = 4 km

What is the real-life distance between the park and the theatre?

On the map, the distance between them is of 3 centimeters.

3*4 = 12

The real-life distance between the park and the theatre is of 12 km.
