Suppose . Find the instantaneous rate of change of h(t)
with respect to t at t=2.

This is a calculus problem involving derivatives.

Step 1. So the first derivative of h(t) or h'(t) is the rate of change of h(t) with respect to t.

First derivative of h(t) = h'(t) =

Step 2. At t=2, then h'(t)=2*2+11 = 15.

Step 3. The instantaneous rate of change of h(t) = h'(t) = 15.

I hope the above steps were helpful.
