Before starting this packet you ought to be comfortable working with limits and with finding the slope of a line tangent to a curve.
This video builds on the learner's experience with finding the slope of a line tangent to a graph to define the derivative of a function.
In this video we look at several examples of functions plotted on the same set of axes as their derivatives in order to better see their relationship.
In this video we see an example of finding the general form of the derivative of f(x) = x^n for some exponent n.
