Using the Binomial Theorem and the definition of the derivate of a function
f(x) as f'(x)= lim as h tends to 0 ((f(x+h)-f(x))/h)
Prove that if f(x)=x^n
then
f'(x)=nx^(n-1)
I'm confused as to how to exactly incorporate the nCr "n choose r" into this interpretation of the derivative.
Any hints or explanations would be greatly appreciated!
