If y = f(x), what does the value of dy/dx at x = x0 represent?
AAverage value of y near x0
BValue of y at x = 0 only
CArea under the curve up to x0
DRate of change of y with x at x0
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Rate of change of y with x at x0
The derivative at a point measures how fast y changes per unit change in x at that point.
