Derivatives Basics
Derivatives are a core component of calculus, representing the rates at which a function changes. We can help with topics like the Power Rule to help you understand how to calculate and apply derivatives, like calculating an object’s speed by measuring how its position changes over time.
Derivatives and tangent lines
Power rule
Product and quotient rules
Higher-order derivatives
Applications of basic derivatives
Advanced Derivatives: Chain Rule & More
Master more advanced derivative concepts and techniques that are crucial for solving complex problems, such as determining how changing one variable affects another in real-world situations like physics, where the chain rule can help calculate the rate of change of velocity over time.
Chain rule
Implicit differentiation
Inverse functions and derivatives
Derivatives of trigonometric, exponential, and logarithmic functions
L'Hopital's rule
Related rates
Applications of Derivatives
Explore real-world applications of derivatives. Understand how things change and make predictions based on that change; for example, derivatives can help calculate how your car’s velocity changes at any moment — which is crucial in understanding acceleration.
