Q. Find the instantaneous rate of change of f(x)=−19f(x) = -19 at x=−17x = -17.\newlineWrite your answer as an integer or a fraction. Simplify any fractions.\newline____\newline
  1. Constant Function Derivative: Since f(x)=−19f(x) = -19 is a constant function, its derivative (which represents the instantaneous rate of change) at any point is 00.
  2. Derivative of Constant Function: To confirm, the derivative of a constant, −19-19, is 00 because the slope of a constant function is always horizontal.
