Question

what is the derviative of 2?

Answer 1

1/4?

Answer 2

The derivative of a constant is always 0. Since the derivative of a function is the slope of the tangent line, imagine the function f(x) = 2. This is a horizontal line through the y-axis at 2. The slope of that line is always 0.

Answer 3

o yea..i apologize..what i meant was well im learning the linerzation and im trying to find L(x)...

Answer 4

my solution in my textbook shows me the F(1)=2 anf f'(1)=1/4..n i like to know where the 1/4 comes from

Answer 5

Can you post the actual problem you're asking about? That might help me understand the function you're trying to approximate.
