Unit 2: Instantaneous Rate of Change: The Derivative

• Unit 2 The Derivativeap Calculus 14th Edition
• Unit 2 The Derivativeap Calculus Solver

In this unit, you will study the instantaneous rate of change of a function. Motivated by this concept, you will develop the notion of limits, continuity, and the derivative. The limit asks the question, 'What does the function do as the independent variable becomes closer and closer to a certain value?' In simpler terms, the limit is the natural tendency of a function. The limit is incredibly important due to its relationship to the derivative, the integral, and countless other key mathematical concepts. A strong understanding of the limit is essential to success in the field of mathematics.

A derivative is a description of how a function changes as its input varies. In the case of a straight line, this derivative, or slope, is the same at every point, which is why we can describe the slope of an entire function with one number when it is linear. You will learn that we can do the same for nonlinear functions. The slope, however, will not be constant; it will change as the independent variable changes.

Unit 2 Derivative Concepts This second unit connects the calculus ideas of a limit with how it relates to velocity. Students will investigate how average velocity relates to instantaneous velocity and discover the practical applications of these newly formed ideas. Unit 2: Derivatives In this unit, you will learn first the concept of a derivative by explaining it through limits. You will see that the limit definition and computation are drawn out, and often difficult, so you will learn shortcuts to compute derivatives.

Completing this unit should take you approximately 16 hours.
