Understand Derivations: Step 1: Understand the term "derivations" in math. Derivations in math usually refer to derivatives, which measure how a function changes as its input changes.
Define Derivative: Step 2: Define the derivative of a function.The derivative of a function at a point gives the slope of the tangent line to the function's graph at that point.
Use Limit Definition: Step 3: Use the limit definition to find the derivative.For a function f(x), the derivative f′(x) is defined as:f′(x)=limh→0[hf(x+h)−f(x)]
Apply to Simple Function: Step 4: Apply the definition to a simple function.Let's find the derivative of f(x)=x2 at x=3.f′(3)=limh→0h(3+h)2−32= limh→0h(9+6h+h2−9)= limh→0h(6h+h2)= limh→0[6+h]= 6
