  • This video animates the idea behind the derivative of a function. We show how to think about the definition of the derivative of a function visually by using a limiting process of slopes of secant lines to obtain the slope of the tangent line (which measures the instant rate of change of a function at a point).

      simply take this formula and substitute a with x+h. you will get the familiar formula, and if x is approaching x+h, then h must be approaching 0

      It was good during the first 20 seconds, but such an explanation needed at least 2-3 minutes to let the various variables in the presentation settle with the audience. Good in theory maybe if it was done in a regular video format or linked to in the shorts description as a full video. Not all students who come across such explanations will be able to follow such a rapid pace explanation, especially the last 20-30 seconds.

    Your explanation make it so easy to understand! Literally only have introductory knowledge and limits and you still managed to do it. Only thing im confused about is why would you need to find the instantaneous rate of change?

    • @MathVisualProofs
      @MathVisualProofs  Před 8 měsíci

      It’s nice to know how fast a process is changing at any instant. Then you kind of know what to expect. You can study rates of rates of change and then get a better picture. For instance you can tell if emissions are increasing or decreasing and if they are decreasing at a decreasing rate. All of this can be done analytically once you have a model of the process.

      How can you have a variable 'x' on x axis if the graph is of y=f(x)
      Because I have seen that, there exists points other than x on x axis for example, b, c, d etc... And when we put their value we get f(b), f(c) respectively. Also thank you

    • @ScarletEmber64
      @ScarletEmber64 Před rokem

      ​@@Dhruv45124 basically, the x-axis represents x itself
      There doesn't really exists a "point x", x just represents all possible values we can input into our function
      so when we say that we have f(c) for example, that just means we are setting x to be equal to any arbitrary point, which we call c here, and get the value for f(x) at that point
