Let f(x) be a function defined in an open interval containing 'a'. The derivatrive of th on f(x) at 'a', denoted by f'(a) is defined by f'(a) = lim f(ath)-f(a) h→0 h. Provided this limit exists. This is also called Slope (m) of the tangent of function at point (a, f(a)) Example 1. Find the derivative of the following functions at the indicated points. Or Find the Slope of the following functions at the given points. f(x) = x3 7x +3 at x = 1 Solution:
