All Differentiation
The document introduces differentiation and defines it as the process of deriving the derived function f'(x) from the original function f(x). This derived function represents the instantaneous rate of change and the gradient of the tangent to the graph of f(x). The basic rule for differentiation is stated as: if f(x) = ax^n, then the derivative f'(x) is equal to nax^n-1. An example is also worked out to differentiate the function 4x^9.
