If you want to find the initial value of an exponential, which point would you find on the graph?
A line. The derivative of a function is its slope. If the slope is a constant then the graph is a line.
A derivative graph tracks the slope of a function.
When you take the derivative of a function, you are seeking a variation of that function that provides you with the slope of the tangent (instantaneous slope) at any value of (x). For example, the derivative of the function f(x)=x^2 is f'(x)=2x. Notice that the derivative is denoted by the apostrophe inside the f and (x). Also note that at x=0, f'(x)=0, which means that at x=0 the slope of the tangent is zero, which is correct for the function y=x^2.
A derivative of a function represents that equation's slope at any given point on its graph.
Take the derivative of the function.
No. If you have more than two points for a linear function any two points can be used to find the slope.
Use the four-step process to find the slope of the tangent line to the graph of the given function at any point.
I suggest: - Take the derivative of the function - Find its initial value, which could be done with the initial value theorem That value is the slope of the original function.
When you differentiate a function, you find the slope of the function. The slope is also known as the tangent. The slope of a line, given one point, and a second point relative to the first point, but with x different, is given as delta y over delta x. Differentiation is simply taking the limit of the slope, i.e. where delta x approaches zero.
The answer depends on the nature of the function that defines the curve whose slope you want. If the function f(x) is differentiable, its slope is f'(x) = df(x)/dx and the value of the slope at a point when x = x0 is f'(x0), obtained by substituting x0 for x in f'(x).
If it is the equation for a line, then it can be rearranged into the format y = mx + b, where m is the slope of the line, and b is the point where the line intercepts the y-axis.If it is not for a straight line, then the slope is changing with x, and the derivative of the function would find the slope at a particular x.
looking they can't of got far
y=ax+b a=slope b=y intercept
the deivative of a function is the gradient, at a point if you can sub in the x coordinate for that point
The slope of a function is the y-intercept or the change in y, over the change in x.
