This is a preview for the new '''MathML rendering mode''' (with SVG fallback), which is availble in production for registered users.
In [[calculus]], the [[derivative]] of a [[constant function]] is [[0 (number)|zero]] (A constant function is one that does not depend on the independent variable, such as ''f''(''x'') = 7).


The rule can be justified in various ways. The derivative is the [[slope]] of the tangent to the given function's graph, and the graph of a constant function is a horizontal line, whose slope is zero.

==Proof==
Registered users will be able to choose between the following three rendering modes:  
A [[formal proof]], from the [[Derivative#Definition via difference quotients|definition of a derivative]], is:


:<math>f'(x) = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac {f(x+h)-f(x)}{h} = \lim_{h \to 0} \frac {c-c}{h} = \lim_{h \to 0}0 = 0.</math>
'''MathML'''
:<math forcemathmode="mathml">E=mc^2</math>


In [[Leibniz notation]], it is written as:
<!--'''PNG'''  (currently default in production)
:<math forcemathmode="png">E=mc^2</math>


:<math>\frac {d}{dx}(c)=0.</math>
'''source'''
:<math forcemathmode="source">E=mc^2</math> -->


==Antiderivative of zero==
<span style="color: red">Follow this [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-rendering link] to change your Math rendering settings.</span> You can also add a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-rendering-skin Custom CSS] to force the MathML/SVG rendering or select different font families. See [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Math#CSS_for_the_MathML_with_SVG_fallback_mode these examples].
A partial converse to this statement is the following:
:''If a function has a derivative of zero on an interval, it must be constant on that interval.''
This is not a consequence of the original statement, but follows from the [[mean value theorem]].  It can be generalized to the statement that
:''If two functions have the same derivative on an interval, they must differ by a constant,''
or
:''If g is an antiderivative of f on and interval, then all antiderivatives of &fnof; on that interval are of the form g(x)&nbsp;+&nbsp;C, where C is a constant.''
From this follows a weak version of the second [[fundamental theorem of calculus]]: ''if ƒ is continuous on [a,b] and ƒ = g' for some function g, then''
::<math>\int_a^b f(x)\, dx = g(b) - g(a).</math>

This is a preview for the new MathML rendering mode (with SVG fallback), which is availble in production for registered users.

If you would like use the MathML rendering mode, you need a wikipedia user account that can be registered here [[1]]

  • Only registered users will be able to execute this rendering mode.
  • Note: you need not enter a email address (nor any other private information). Please do not use a password that you use elsewhere.

Registered users will be able to choose between the following three rendering modes:

MathML


Follow this link to change your Math rendering settings. You can also add a Custom CSS to force the MathML/SVG rendering or select different font families. See these examples.
