Are you wanting me to write out sample problems or something? You're just going to accuse me of copy pasting - I can't beat you, you're like cancer, you'll just keep coming back with more asinine responses

wow guys can we leave cancer out of this

Here.. pretty basic calculus problem. If you want to find the slope of the tangent line at a point on the curve y=x^2, we can pretend the tangent line touches two points on the curve an infinitesimal distance apart.

Slope = Rise / Run
the 'run' is infinitesimal, which we will represent with the variable 'h'

Rise = (x+h)^2 - x^2


x^2 + h^2 + 2xh + -x^2
h


simplify this to 2x+h or just 2x, which is the derivative of y=x^2, giving us the slope of the tangent line at any given point on the curve y=x^2

the most advanced mathematics the average person ever uses is balancing a checkbook and you don't even do that. the only thing you use calculus for is is bragging on the internet that you know calculus. you prove it again and again every single time this comes up, and it's never ever going to impress anyone because it's not impressive, it's depressingly pathetic.

Even something as simple as that is probably over your head though :smug:

You'd probably just memorize (n)x^n-1 as a trick for finding a derivative, and get mad at your teacher for explaining why that actually works

frankly I find it repulsive that you try to sell your trite smug self aggrandizing bullshit as a "love of learning"

wow huge f*cking nerds in this threadlmao

damn straight

if you put that energy into learning vb you could be making shitty phone games and making $40 a week on ad views

Nerds are actually intelligent, so not really.
