How do I a differentiate a cosine function?

The differential is the slope of the graph at any point. So if we imagine a cosine in our heads, it starts at a peak and goes down to a negative peak. So in terms of the gradient (or slope) it starts at 0...

Define the derivative of a function f(x) and use this to calculate the derivative of f(x)=x^n for positive integer n.

f'(x)=lim(h->0) of [f(x+h)-f(x)]/h. In the case where f(x)=x^n, we have that f(x+h)-f(x)=h*nx^(n-1) + (h^2)*p(x) for a polynomial p(x), shown by binomially expanding f(x+h). Then dividing through by h ...

Given that f(x) = 1/x - sqrt(x) + 3. Find f'(1).

We are given that f(x) = 1/x - sqrt(x) + 3. Here, f(x) represents a function. A function is a relation or expression involving one or more variables. We are able to differentiate f(x) in order to find the...
