Answer

\[f'\left( c \right)=0\]

Work Step by Step

\[\begin{align} & \text{Let }f\left( x \right)=c,\text{ using the definition of the derivative} \\ & f'\left( x \right)=\underset{h\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{f\left( x+h \right)-f\left( x \right)}{h} \\ & \text{Calculate the derivative for }f\left( x \right)=c \\ & f'\left( c \right)=\underset{h\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{c-c}{h} \\ & f'\left( c \right)=\underset{h\to 0}{\mathop{\lim }}\,0 \\ & f'\left( c \right)=0 \\ \end{align}\]
