$derivdef\left(x^2\right)$
Learn how to solve definition of derivative problems step by step online. Find the derivative of (-x)^2 using the definition. Simplify \left(-x\right)^2. Find the derivative of x^2 using the definition. Apply the definition of the derivative: \displaystyle f'(x)=\lim_{h\to0}\frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}. The function f(x) is the function we want to differentiate, which is x^2. Substituting f(x+h) and f(x) on the limit, we get. Expand \left(x+h\right)^2. Cancel like terms x^2 and -x^2.
