Can someone teach me....

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

how to do derivatives, what they are and everything about them?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

(I am 16)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Don't write a huge list, please! A tip at a time! Thank You!

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

I'm 16 and only currently learning derivatives in class too... do you understand how limits work at least?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

"limits" to what? (the answer to your question is probably no)

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

okay, so limit: an estimation of the value (y-value) of a function around or near a given x-value (when a function is continuous around the given x value, then the value of the limit is equal to the value of the function)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Can you give me an example, please?

jigglypuff314 (jigglypuff314):

\[\lim_{x \rightarrow 2}f(x)=1\] |dw:1381715970948:dw| limit means around and near the x value so can be |dw:1381716091872:dw|
