  5. Derivative - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derivative

    The ratio in the definition of the derivative is the slope of the line through two points on the graph of the function ⁠ ⁠, specifically the points (, ()) and (+, (+)). As h {\displaystyle h} is made smaller, these points grow closer together, and the slope of this line approaches the limiting value, the slope of the tangent to the graph of ...

    The validity of this rule follows from the validity of the Feynman method, for one may always substitute a subscripted del and then immediately drop the subscript under the condition of the rule. For example, from the identity A ⋅( B × C ) = ( A × B )⋅ C we may derive A ⋅(∇× C ) = ( A ×∇)⋅ C but not ∇⋅( B × C ) = (∇× B ...

  7. Symmetric derivative - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetric_derivative

    For differentiable functions, the symmetric difference quotient does provide a better numerical approximation of the derivative than the usual difference quotient. [3] The symmetric derivative at a given point equals the arithmetic mean of the left and right derivatives at that point, if the latter two both exist. [1] [2]: 6

  9. Difference quotient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Difference_quotient

    This name is justified by the mean value theorem, which states that for a differentiable function f, its derivative f ′ reaches its mean value at some point in the interval. [5] Geometrically, this difference quotient measures the slope of the secant line passing through the points with coordinates (a, f(a)) and (b, f(b)). [10]
