In this video we look at examples of using derivatives to find slope at a point on a function, and determining the equation of a tangent line at a particular point on a function. We also look at examples of finding the points on a function where there are horizontal tangent lines.

This course is designed to help students understand the concepts of calculus at a grounded level. No long, boring, and unnecessary explanations, just what you need to know at a reasonable and digestible pace, with each lesson under 20 minutes!

Calculus requires a solid understanding of precalculus and algebra concepts and techniques including factoring, equation manipulation, trigonometric equations, logarithms, finding slope, graphing, and many more. If you are not familiar with these prerequisite topics, be sure to learn them first!
