Derivative (examples)

===Example 1===
Consider ''f''(''x'') = 5:

: <math>f'(x)=\lim_{h\rightarrow 0} \frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h} = \lim_{h\rightarrow 0} \frac{5-5}{h} = 0</math>

The derivative of a [[constant]] is [[0 (number)|zero]].

===Example 2===
(contracted; show full)|-
|
|<math> = \frac{1}{4 x \sqrt{x}}</math> 
|}

(<math>\sqrt{x}</math> has 2 answers that only differ in sign, so it doesn't matter which sign we put in front of the end result.)
