Full solution

Q. Can you explain the concept of derivations?
  1. Understand Derivations: Step 11: Understand the term "derivations" in math. Derivations in math usually refer to derivatives, which measure how a function changes as its input changes.
  2. Define Derivative: Step 22: Define the derivative of a function.\newlineThe derivative of a function at a point gives the slope of the tangent line to the function's graph at that point.
  3. Use Limit Definition: Step 33: Use the limit definition to find the derivative.\newlineFor a function f(x)f(x), the derivative f(x)f'(x) is defined as:\newlinef(x)=limh0[f(x+h)f(x)h]f'(x) = \lim_{h \to 0} \left[\frac{f(x+h) - f(x)}{h}\right]
  4. Apply to Simple Function: Step 44: Apply the definition to a simple function.\newlineLet's find the derivative of f(x)=x2f(x) = x^2 at x=3x = 3.\newlinef(3)=limh0(3+h)232hf'(3) = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac{(3+h)^2 - 3^2}{h}\newline= limh0(9+6h+h29)h\lim_{h \to 0} \frac{(9 + 6h + h^2 - 9)}{h}\newline= limh0(6h+h2)h\lim_{h \to 0} \frac{(6h + h^2)}{h}\newline= limh0[6+h]\lim_{h \to 0} [6 + h]\newline= 66
