Short Description

This is the symbol for the derivative of a function. If \(f(x)\) is a function, then \(f'(x)\) is the derivative of that function.

Medium Description

This is the symbol for the derivative of a function. If \(f(x)\) is a function, then \(f'(x)\) is the derivative of that function. It is an expression that models the rate of change of \(f(x)\) as \(x\) changes.

Long Description

The symbol \('\) represents the derivative of a function. If \(f(x)\) is a function, then \(f'(x)\) is the derivative of that function. It is an expression that models the rate of change of \(f(x)\) as \(x\) changes. In Leibniz's notation it would be \(\frac{df}{dt}\). In Newton's notation, it would be \(\dot x\).
