We will obtain the derivative of the constant function f(x)=3f(x)=3 using the following definition:

f(x)=limxx0f(x)f(x0)xx0f'(x)=\lim_{x\rightarrow x_0} \dfrac{f(x)-f(x_0)}{x-x_0}

notice that since we are not given the value where we calculate the derivative, we will do that at some arbitrary point x=x0x=x_0.
