What Are Derivatives?
Derivatives are quite simply, the slope of a line at any given point. On this website we will be exploring the different types of real world situations where derivatives are useful. There are several different sorts of functions, and for each there is a specific method and short-cut for finding the derivative. Here we look at Power Functions, Exponential Functions and Trig Functions. Sometimes a functions is multiplied by another function, divided by another function, or lives within a function. We look at those situations too on our Product, Quotient and Compound pages. Our examples are based off of actual data cited on our citations page. If you have a question about a specific situation, or if you find any mistakes please address those too us on the Contact Us page. Enjoy yourself and have a wonderful Day!
