==Introduction to derivative==

If a function has value <math>f(x)</math> at <math>x</math> and <math>f(x+h)</math> at <math>x+h</math> with <math>h>0</math> than the slope of the line joining <math>(x,f(x))</math> to <math>(x+h,f(x+h))</math> is,
 +
 +
:<math>\frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}</math>.
 +
 +
The slope of the line that meets (is tangential to) <math>f(x)</math> at <math>x</math> is the limit as <math>h</math> tends to zero, or,
 +
 +
:<math>\lim_{h\rightarrow0}\frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h},</math>
 +
 +
which is denoted <math>f'(x)</math>, which is called the [[Derivative (calculus)|derivative]] of <math>f(x)</math>.
