The Basic Concept of Derivatives
Imagine you have a function \(f(x)\). For example you could have something like \(f(x) = x^2\) or maybe something like \(f(x) = \sin x\). We...
More About Derivatives (Part 2)
Notation: The derivative \(f'(x)\) of a function \(f(x)\) is also denoted as \[\frac{df}{dx} (x)\] This notation comes from the fact that when you compute the...
