* Annotation text "move x₂ closer to x₁" below the "better ..." box and slightly above the curve, with an implied direction towards making the interval between x₁ and x₂ smaller.
* Label 'f'(x)' near the thick yellow arrow.
* Point labeled '(x₃, y₃)' near the tip of the thick yellow arrow on the curve.

Welcome to our exploration of limits and first principles. The concept of limits is fundamental to calculus and helps us understand how we can find instantaneous rates of change from average rates of change. Here we see a function f of x with two points connected by a secant line. The slope of this secant line gives us the average rate of change, calculated as delta y over delta x.
Now let's see what happens when we move the second point closer to the first point. As x2 approaches x1, the secant line connecting these two points gets closer and closer to the tangent line at x1. This is the key insight behind limits - by making the interval smaller and smaller, we can approximate the instantaneous rate of change with increasing accuracy.
This leads us to the first principle of differentiation. The derivative of a function f at point x is defined as the limit of the difference quotient as delta x approaches zero. This mathematical definition gives us the exact slope of the tangent line at any point, which represents the instantaneous rate of change. The red line you see is the perfect tangent line at this point.
Now let's see how limits and derivatives apply to real-world motion. If s of t represents the position of an object over time, then the instantaneous velocity is the derivative of position with respect to time. This is exactly what we get from the first principle - the limit of average velocity as the time interval approaches zero. Similarly, acceleration is the derivative of velocity, or the second derivative of position.
To summarize what we have learned: Limits are the foundation that allows us to transition from average rates of change to instantaneous rates. The first principle uses limits to formally define derivatives. These derivatives give us the exact slope of tangent lines and enable us to calculate instantaneous speed and acceleration in real-world motion problems.
