Derivative of a constant is Zero because the value of X is 1 i,e when you
see 6 its actually 6 X 1.. So its 1 with power of 1 which gives X a value
of 1. When you apply the power rule to get derivative of 6 you actually are
doing ( its (1-1)*6*1 with power of 0 which would anyways give your 0
give the best linear approximation of the function.. near that input value.
this brings to mind the graphs of derivatives vs regular function graphs.
im just confused because it seems like derivatives are almost like
reciprocals but in a whole different form with a whole different concept.
is it only for tangent lines on a curve?
Wow… Thank you so very very much. I asked everyone (my math teacher, the
smart kid, and even Google) and this is the best answer I’ve gotten. I was
lost and flunking the mess out of Calculus. You might have just saved my
life. Thanks so much again. 🙂
That last part of the derivative of a constant equaling zero can be proven
with the method taught in this example too, so it’s more of a shortcut than
something you have to memorize. (For example: 6 is actually 6x^0, so you
move that to the front and get 0(6)x^-1, which altogether is multiplied by
0 for a grand total of 0.)
cool

Cant imagine why you posted this vid. In the very close limit… it’s
useless.
its good to have goals
the most fucking useless shit ever
2:25 onwards… Actually you don’t have to memorize anything. f(x) = 6,
then 6 = 6*1 = 6*x^0 0*6*x^(0-1) = 0 (zero times anything is zero)
The worst video lecture ever heard by me.

keep it up man!!!!.. you are def. helping with this class from HELLL!
this is the only thing about derivatives i understand. what is a derivative
though???
You taught this so much better than my math teacher, and probably just
saved me from getting completely lost. Thank you so much 🙂
or simply put, the derivative of a constant is 0.
