Question 328487: 2. The altitude h (in meters) of a jet as a function of the horizontal distance x (in kilometers) it has traveled is given by:
h=0.000104x^4-0.0417x^3+4.21x^2-8.33x
Find the instantaneous rate of change of h with respect to x for x = 120 km.

x=120 km.
h=0.000104x^4-0.0417x^3+4.21x^2-8.33x
h=21,565.44-72,057.6+60,624-999.6
h=9,132.24 km.
h=9,132,240 meters ans.
