Explanation

We are given the following function:


f(x)=3\cos2x

We are required to determine the instantaneous rate of change at x = 2π.

This is achieved thus:


\begin{gathered} f(x)=3\cos2x \\ (\triangle f(x))/(\triangle x)=3\cdot-2\sin2x \\ \frac{\operatorname{\triangle}f(x)}{\operatorname{\triangle}x}=-6\sin2x \\ \text{ At the point }x=2\pi \\ \frac{\operatorname{\triangle}f(x)}{\operatorname{\triangle}x}=0 \end{gathered}

Hence, the answer is:


\frac{\operatorname{\triangle}f(x)}{\operatorname{\triangle}x}=0
