Please Note that at 1:53, it should state f'(xi) not f'(xi+1)!

Thank you ! I was pretty lost as to why we even do this but seeing your video and examples really helped me connect the dots! (pun intended :)

I may have missed a tutorial. I was getting the wrong answer until I put my calculator in radians mode. Why do we use this mode for this?
