INTRODUCTION
Derivative, in mathematics, the rate of change of a function with respect to a variable Derivatives
are fundamental to the solution of problems in calculus and differential equations.the derivative
of a function of a real variable measures the sensitivity to change of the function value (output
value) with respect to a change in its argument (input value). Derivatives are a fundamental tool
of calculus. For example, the derivative of the position of a moving object with respect to time is
the object's velocity: this measures how quickly the position of the object changes when time
advances.

History:
• Modern differentiation and derivatives are usually cradited to “Isaac
Newton” and “Gottfried Leibniz”.
• However , Newton’s work would not have been possible without the
efforts of Isaac Borrow who began early development of the derivative in the 16th century.

Applications of Derivatives
*Automobiles
In an automobile there is always an odometer and a speedometer. These two gauges work in
tandem and allow the driver to determine his speed and his distance that he has traveled.
Electronic versions of these gauges simply use derivatives to transform the data sent to the
electronic motherboard from the tires to miles per Hour(MPH) and distance(KM).
*Radar Guns
Keeping with the automobile theme from the previous page, all police officers who use radar
guns are actually taking advantage of the easy use of derivatives. When a radar gun is pointed
and fired at your care on the highway. The gun is able to determine the time and distance at
which the radar was able to hit a certain section of your vehicle. With the use of derivative, it is
able to calculate the speed at which the car was going and also report the distance that the car
was from the radar gun.

*Graphs:
The most common application of derivative is to analyze graphs of data that can be calculated
from many different fields. Using derivative, one is able to calculate the gradient at
any point of a graph.

*Derivatives in Mathematics:
The most common use of the derivatives in Mathematics is to study functions such as:
*Derivatives in Chemistry
• One use of derivatives in chemistry is when you want to find the concentration of an element in
a product.

*Derivatives in Economics:
Use of derivatives in Economics is as follows:
• Let x represent the number of units of a certain commodity produced by some company.
Denote by C(x) the cost the company incurs in producing x units. Then the derivative of C(x) is
what’s called the marginal cost:
• Furthermore, suppose the company knows that if it produces x units, they can expect the
revenue to be R(x),i.e. the revenue is a function of the number of units produced. Then the
derivative of R(x) is what’s called the marginal revenue.
P(x)=R(x)-C(x)

*Derivatives in Physics
• In physics, the derivative of the displacement of a moving body with respect to time is the
velocity of the body, and the derivative of velocity W.R.T time is acceleration.
• Newton’s second law of motion states that the derivative of the momentum of a body equals the
force applied to the body.

Conclusion:
1. The Derivative is the exact rate at which one quantity changes with respect
to another.
2. Geometrically, the derivative is the slope of curve at the point on the curve.
4. The derivative of a function represents an infinitely small change the function with respect to
one of its variables.
