Derivative Formula

Derivative Formula
Derivatives are a fundamental tool of calculus. The derivative of a function of a real variable
measures the sensitivity to change of a quantity, which is determined by another quantity.
Derivative Formula is given as,

f (x + △x) − f (x)
1
f (x) = lim
△x→0 △x
