What is the Derivative

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 11-04-23] [Hit: ]
You know what,everytime i study maths,i ask to many things to myself.Where the hell this came from??Maybe some smart lecturers from harvard University can answer this question!......
i know it sounds stupid but what's the Derivative ?
where did it come from i know that drevative is the change
but if we say dy/dx = ( y2-y1/x2-x1 )
so what is the first dy/dx' will be ?
and what the second dy/dx" will be ?
thank you =]

f (x) is a function of x

f `(x) is defined as the derivative of f (x)

f ` (x) is defined as :-

lim
h-->0 [ f(x + h) - f(x) ] / h

Examples
----------------
f (x) = a x^n
f ` (x) = n a x^(n - 1)

f (x) = 3 x^5
f ` (x) = 15 x^4
