Please help explain this to me! x -> 2.5 | 2.8| 3| 3.1| f(x) - 31.25| 39.2|45|48.05| The function f is differentiable and has values as shown in the table above. Both f and f prime are strictly increasing on the interval 0≤x≤5. What is the value of f'(3)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

SInce this is a multiple choice question I also got possible answers A.) 20 B.) 27.5 C.)29 D.) 30 E.)30.5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I just dont know how to solve this or even start the problem

OpenStudy (dan815):

okk

OpenStudy (dan815):

f'(3) means what is the rate of change at that point

OpenStudy (dan815):

so lets see how the values are changing

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alright how do we find that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

we know that its increasing so it can't do down

OpenStudy (dan815):

lets draw a small graph to calculate some slopes
