Someone bikes on a path modeled by f(x) = 0.04(8x - x^2), where x and f(x) are measured in miles. Find the rate of change of elevation when x = 2.
I know I am supposed to find the limit of/approximate slope of the tangent at x = 2, but I don't under how the slope of the curve is rate of change of elevation. Help?
What would be the unit of the rate of change of elevation, then?
