Answer

The instantaneous rate of change is approximately 0.57735 m/(s · K)

Work Step by Step

time interval [300,300.01] $\frac{∆v}{∆T}$ = $\frac{v(300.01)-v(300)}{300.01-300}$ = $\frac{20\sqrt {300.01}-20\sqrt {300}}{300.01-300}$ = $0.577345$ time interval [300,300.005] $\frac{∆v}{∆T}$ = $\frac{v(300.005)-v(300)}{300.005-300}$ = $\frac{20\sqrt {300.005}-20\sqrt {300}}{300.005-300}$ = $0.577348$ time interval [300,300.001] $\frac{∆v}{∆T}$ = $\frac{v(300.001)-v(300)}{300.001-300}$ = $\frac{20\sqrt {300.001}-20\sqrt {300}}{300.001-300}$ = $0.57735$ time interval [300,300.00001] $\frac{∆v}{∆T}$ = $\frac{v(300.00001)-v(300)}{300.00001-300}$ = $\frac{20\sqrt {300.00001}-20\sqrt {300}}{300.00001-300}$ = $0.57735$ The instantaneous rate of change is approximately 0.57735 m/(s · K)
