The Tangent and Velocity

Tangent -Latin word “Tangens” means Touching. When a curve y = f(x) has a tangent at a point, slope of the tangent at the point is equal to the slope of the curve at the point here

Slope of Tangent line

Slope\space of\space  line\space AB =\frac {f(c+Δx)-f(c)} {(c+Δx)-c}=\frac{f\left(c+Δx\right)-f\left(c\right)}{Δx}

Derivative of a function using limit (first principle)

Slope\space of \space tangent\space at\space A(c,\space f(c))=\lim _{Δ\:x\to 0}\frac{f\left(c+Δx\right)-f\left(c\right)}{Δx} \space or \space=\lim _{h\to 0}\frac{f\left(c+h\right)-f\left(c\right)}{h}

Slope of the Tangent line is limit of slopes of secant lines
