<p>By First Principle The derivative of a constant can be proved using the First Principle, which expresses the derivative as the limit of the difference<a>quotient</a>. Let f(x) = 2. Its derivative is expressed as: f'(x) = limₕ→₀ [f(x + h) - f(x)] / h Since f(x) = 2, then f(x + h) = 2. f'(x) = limₕ→₀ [2 - 2] / h = limₕ→₀ 0 / h = 0 Thus, the derivative is 0.</p>
