Derivatives
Estimating Derivatives Given the Formula
The derivative (or slope) of f at a is defined as
Since f'(a) is defined as a limit, we immediately have one strategy for finding it:
- Pick a value of h that's close to 0.
- Find the slope of the secant line between a and a + h.
- Repeat (1) and...
