Definition of the Derivative
The derivative of f at x is

provided this limit exists.
The derivative f’(x) is a formula for the slope of the tangent line to the graph of f at the point (x,f(x)).
The function found by evaluating the limit of the difference quotient is called the derivative of f at x. It is denoted by f ’(x), which is read “f prime of x”.

Average Rate of Change
The average rate of change of a function f(x) on an interval [a, b] is found by computing the slope of the line joining the end points of the function on that interval.
