Ash's 38th and Final Post..

As much as I hate to admit it, this is actually kind of depressing. This school year seems to have flown by! I'm really going to miss all of the seniors and I'm so glad I had those in Calculus in my class, otherwise I wouldn't have gotten to know their cooky personalities X] Good luck to all of you guys! I know all of yall will succeed in college and then later on in life, wherever that may take you =]

Enough of the mushy-gushy stuff for now and onto the last bit of Calculus I'll have to type on here for a while.

The concept that I felt really stupid when I finally understood was Definition of Derivatives. I'm not exactly sure how it clicked, but I remember Mrs. Robinson sitting at her desk explaining it once again..when a light bulb when off in my head! =] I felt so accomplished after I worked that first problem understanding the concept..then I felt like an idiot for not getting it before X]

But how about I go over real quick what is it? ^^


f'(x) = Lim f(x+h)-f(x)
H->0 h

You merely take the derivative of f(x+h) by following these steps :D
First plug in 0 for H
Then you take the derivative
Then you simplify!
The end!

I can't believe it took me forever to grasp that X]

And a final note before I say goodbye to Calculus AB...thank you guys for such a great year! I'm never going to forget this class and I'm pretty sure I never want to. Thanks to Mrs. Robinson for having the patience to teach us, the motivation to push us and herself as hard as she could, the love and care she showed throughout the entire year. We love you! =]
Goodbye Calculus AB!
