Definition of Derivative Example: f(x) = x + 1/(x+1)
We compute one more example of taking a derivative not by applying derivative rules, but by applying the definition. That is, the limit computation where the slopes of secant lines approach the slope of the tangent line in the limit as h tends to zero. ********************************

Partial Derivatives and the Gradient of a Function
We've introduced the differential operator before, during a few of our calculus lessons. But now we will be using this operator more and more over the prime symbol we are used to when describing differentiation, as from now on we will frequently be differentiating with respect to a specifi

Where Does the Definition of the Derivative Come From?
A student asked about the definition of the derivative in class so I derived the definition really quickly. We had just finished covering infinite limits so we were not talking about derivatives yet, but it was such a good question that I thought I should share this here. I hope this hel

definition of derivative for a rational function
Here we will use the definition of derivative to find the derivative of a rational function. This is a slightly harder calculus 1 problem so be sure you practice it a few times and make sure you can do it on your own. Get a derivative t-shirt: 👉 https://bit.ly/derivativetshirt Use "WELCO

Definition of the Derivative | Part I
Description: One goal for the derivative is to define the notion of a tangent line to a curve. By approximating the slope of the tangent line by a limit of slopes of secant lines, we arrive at the definition of the derivative. Learning Objectives: 1) Graphically sketch the intuition behi
