How do you use the limit definition of the derivative to find the derivative of #f(x)=-4#? Calculus Derivatives Limit Definition of Derivative 1 Answer Eddie Sep 1, 2016 see below Explanation: #f'(x) equiv lim_(h to 0) (f(x+h) - f(x))/(h)# In this case: #f'(x) = lim_(h to 0) (- 4 - (- 4))/(h)# # = lim_(h to 0) (0)/(h) = 0# Answer link Related questions What is the limit definition of the derivative of the function #y=f(x)# ?
