Applying the Definition of the Derivative to 1/x

Description:
Now that we have defined the derivative of a function, our goal is to go around compute the derivative of many functions. Here we apply the definition to the function 1/x.
Learning Objective:
1) Compute the derivative of a function via the definition of the derivative
Now it's your turn:
1) Summarize the big idea of this video in your own words
2) Write down anything you are unsure about to think about later
3) What questions for the future do you have? Where are we going with this content?
4) Can you come up with your own sample test problem on this material? Solve it!
Learning mathematics is best done by actually DOING mathematics. A video like this can only ever be a starting point. I might show you the basic ideas, definitions, formulas, and examples, but to truly master calculus means that you have to spend time - a lot of time! - sitting down and trying problems yourself, asking questions, and thinking about mathematics. So before you go on to the next video, pause and go THINK.
This video is part of a Calculus course taught by Dr. Trefor Bazett at the University of Cincinnati.

Awesome. How can I create videos like yours for my math students in high school?

[@BeekersSqueakers]

God I wish I had followed your videos the first time I went through Calculus.
