Find instantaneous rate of #6cos(3x)+2# where #x=5# in radians?

How do you find instantaneous rate of #6cos(3x)+2# where #x=5# in radians.

Please no calculus solutions, but from this equation: #(trianglef(x))/(triangle x)#

So I got the answer key today, so I will answer myself, maybe for future references for others.

Explanation:

#(triangle f(x))/(triangle x)= [[6cos(3*5.01)]-[6cos(3*4.99)]]/(5.01-4.99)#

#(triangle f(x))/(triangle x)=~ [-2.6731108- (-2.43904)]/(0.02)#

#(triangle f(x))/(triangle x)=~ -11.7#
