can you please create a python script that outputs a derivative using The Average Rate of Change Formula A(x) = f(b)-f(a) /(b-a) when x is user input

Sure

In
this
script
,
we
first
define
the
`
aver
age
_
rate
_
of
_
change
`
function
that
takes
in
three
arguments
-
`
f
`,
`
a
`,
and
`
b
`.
It
returns
the
derivative
of
`
f
`
at
`
x
`
using
the
A
verage
R
ate
of
Change
formula
.
\n
\n
In
the
`
main
`
function
,
we
first
take
a
user
input
for
`
x
`.
We
then
define
a
function
`
func
`
that
takes
in
`
x
`
and
returns
`
x
**
2
`.
We
use
the
`
aver
age
_
rate
_
of
_
change
`
function
to
find
the
derivative
of
`
func
`
at
`
x
`,
and
print
the
result
.

You
can
run
this
script
by
saving
it
in
a
file
with
a
`.
py
`
extension
and
running
it
in
a
Python
interpreter
.
Make
sure
to
replace
the
`
func
`
function
with
the
function
for
which
you
want
to
find
the
derivative
.
