What is a derivative
The derivative of a function f at a point (x,f(x)) is f(x+h)… if the limit exists.
This method of determining the derivative is sometimes referred to as first principles
Average Rate of Change

Component Form
->
OP = [x, y]
Unit Vector Form
->
OP = xî + yj
A (x1, y1) and B (x2, y2)
->
AB= [x-x, y-y]
->
|AB|= square root
Determine |AB + BC|
First AB + BC -> [a, b]
Then square root
