This chapter will focus on differentiation, which looks at how quickly one variable is changing with respect to another. ‘Change is all around us. Examples in physics, Include change of position, velocity, density, current and power in chemistry, we have rates of reaction, and in biology, the growth of bacteria; in economics, rates include marginal «ost and profi; in sociology, we might want 10 measure the speed at which a rumour spreads or periodic changes in fashion. All ofthese can be spplications of dilferentiation, But how do we go sbout measuring these changes? 10.1 Limits and derivatives ‘The graph shows how the profits of a company Increase with the number of widgets it sells From previous work on linear functions you will nove thatthe rate at which the profit increases for each new widget made (proflt per widget) Is 2100-500 2100-500 $10 per widget 6-9 Oe we Thisis equivalent to the gradient ofthe curve. Ifthe 1) i ta Sy Ba cave had a steeper gradient the profit per widget eect would be higher. If the gradient were less steep the Profit per widget would be ower. Hence, the rate of change of one variable with respect to another is equivalent to the gradient of the curve. ‘This is easy o caleulate when the functions are linea.
