can someone teach me derivatives..my instructor is confusing me so much rn

[unique yew]

for derivatives u need to use a sheet it has all the functions and their derivatives (it's the easiest way)

[storm plover]

Can you tell exactly what is the part that you dont understand

[unique yew]

this method of calculating the limit is used when u don't know how to calculate the derivative of the whole function . Is that ur case?

[feral hill]

yes

[feral hill]

i might as well say EVERYTHING since i was confused why there's a limit in the derivative (sorry for the bad grammar, English is not my first language)

[unique yew]

if u'r not allowed to derive the whole function u have to work with the limit .

what didn't u understand in it?

[vast kernel]

Do you know what slope is?

[feral hill]

we still haven't discussed anything about it but I'm kinda familiar with it's definition

[vast kernel]

Ok do you know what average rate of change is?

AroC = (f(b) - f(a)) / (b - a)

Slope is just the rate of change of a linear function, for example

y = 2x + 2

The slope of this function is 2
