Solution

The question seems to be incomplete. However, I can guide you on how to find the instantaneous rate of change using the secant method and how to find the value of the derivative at x=1 using first principles.

  1. Secant Method: The secant method involves finding the average rate of change over a small interval. The formula for the secant line is (f(x+h) - f(x))/h. Here, h is a small number.

Let's use h=0.001 for our calculations.

f(x) = 2x^2 + 3x + 1 f(x+h) = 2(x+0.001)^2 + 3(x+0.001) + 1

Substitute x=1 into the equations:

f(1) = 2(1)^2 + 3(1) + 1 = 6 f(1.001) = 2(1.001)^2 + 3(1.001) + 1

Calculate f(1.001) and subtract f(1) from it, then divide by h=0.001. This will give you the average rate of change over the interval [1, 1.001], which approximates the instantaneous rate of change at x=1.

  1. First Principles: The derivative of a function at a certain point can be found using the limit definition of the derivative, which is the limit as h approaches 0 of [f(x+h) - f(x)]/h.

f'(x) = lim(h->0) [f(x+h) - f(x)] / h f'(x) = lim(h->0) [2(x+h)^2 + 3(x+h) + 1 - (2x^2 + 3x + 1)] / h

Simplify the equation and take the limit as h approaches 0 to find the derivative of the function at x=1.
