In the introduction, we mentioned Derivative equals to gradient and also slope.

The derivative can be used to find any point-slope in a function.

For example

Then let’s say we want to know the slope of the point when f(4) when

Using derivative you will learn this after just need to know will get .

so no matter what when the f(4) the slop will be equal to 8.

When x=8 then then finding the slope of that point on the graph the slope will be equals to 16.

Finding slope is one kind of way to use derivative there are lots of kind ways to use it.
