OpenStudy (danjs):

hmm, what is first principal? like the limit definition?

OpenStudy (yumyum247):

yeah in this case we're going to be using limit...so

OpenStudy (danjs):

ok, yeah just explain how you start with a function f(x), and how the definition is put together with algebra... like using the secant slope of two points to estimate the tangent slope better and better

OpenStudy (danjs):

or you just have to define what it is? Maybe just say you use algebra to find the expression for the slope of a tangent to a curve, at any value x. Then state the definition f ' (x) = ,,,
