How Do You Find The Derivative Of A Function By The Limit Process?
In this article, we will use a function as an example to find the derivative by the Limit Process, also know as the Definition of a Derivative. The word Delta X has a symbol, which we will be using repeatedly. Since it is difficult to express in the steps below, we will use the images to show the process. In order to find the derivative of a function, we need to know the Difference Quotient. Please click on the image to see how the Difference Quotient is derived. In order to find the derivative of a function, follow the steps in the image. There is a special symbol or notation for the expression ‘Delta X’ which means an increment of change in x. The symbol is a triangle before x. Once we have found the expressions in the previous step, substitute them into the Limit Function, and then simplfy the results. PLease click on the image for a better understanding. Follow the steps given in the image shown on the left. This will give you the final answer for the Derivative of the Original Fun
