F (7) is the final answer

Meredith Gardner · Answer 2

We know that f (x) = 7x + 8. So, take the derivative of this function with respect to x.

This gives

f' (x) = 7

Now, you probably realized that the x value disappeared. This means that no matter what value of x you use, the derivative of this function is always going to be 7, even at x = 5. That is, the rate of change of this function is always going to be a rate of 7.
