In Exercise, classify the following as exhibiting average rate of change or instantaneous rate of change.

Medicine—Pancreatic Transplants: The number of pancreatic transplants performed from 1990 to 2010 can be modeled by the function

f(x) = −0.49x3 + 11.88x2 − 35.53x + 56.94 0 ≤ x ≤ 20

where x represents the number of years since 1990, and f(x) represents the number of pancreatic transplants performed. (Source: U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.) The rate of change in the number of transplants performed when x = 10.
