there is a flaw in your statement regarding using secants to differentiate, i just cant think right now though

+k. Please neg http://www.epicmafia.com/user/59867 Thanks!

+k! Please Return!

There are so many easier ways to say that.

On using a secant to differentiate: suppose f(x) is differentiable on the interval [C, C+deltaC]. Graph the function and draw a secant line through the points (C, f(C)) and (C+deltaC, f(C+deltaC)). Consider the slope of this line and take the limit as deltaC approaches zero. Look familiar?

ITS YOUR AVATAR!!!!! Either that or the slope will be null :/

+K PLEASE RETURN!
