Derivatives - Intro

In mathematics, a derivative is a measure of how a function changes as its input changes. Loosely speaking, a derivative can be thought of as how much one quantity is changing in response to changes in some other quantity; for example, the derivative of the position of a moving object with respect to time is the object's velocity. The concept of a derivative developed as a way to measure the steepness of a curve; the concept was ultimately generalized and now "derivative" is often used to refer to the relationship between two variables, independent and dependent, and to various related notions, such as the differential.

Video Transcript

in order to figure out the rate. The first thing we know is that h is altitude and abuse base. Looking at the formula 1/2 base times height, we can plug in, let me know 100 centimeters squared his area. I only know H is 10 centimetres. Giving us B is 20 centimeters. Therefore, into the equation D A over DT is 1/2 HDB over DT. So it's 10 times D B over DT plus B times D H over DT 20 times one was just 20. Simplify this. We got a DP over. DT is negative 1.6 centimeters her minutes. So clearly the rate is decreasing since native.
