What is the Limit definition of derivative of a function at a point? Calculus Derivatives Limit Definition of Derivative 1 Answer Wataru Sep 17, 2014 Limit Definition of #f'(a)# #f'(a)=lim_{h to 0}{f(a+h)-f(a)}/h# or #f'(a)=lim_{x to a}{f(x)-f(a)}/{x-a}# Answer link Related questions What is the limit definition of the derivative of the function #y=f(x)# ?
