What is the Derivative of a Function?
The derivative is a fundamental concept in calculus. Finding the derivative is called differentiation A function’s derivative describes the rate of change of that function at a given point.
We represent a derivative function as:
dx denotes an infinitesimal change in the variable “x.” Thus, dy/dx represents the derivative of the “y” with respect to the variable “x.”
FAQs
Differentiating a function once gives its first-order derivative whereas differentiating twice gives its second-order derivative.
In terms of the graph, the slope of the given function at a point is represented graphically by the first-order derivative. The second-order derivative explains how the slope of the given function changes over the independent variable.
In differentiation, we know the basic rule that the derivative of any constant is zero, so, obviously, the derivative of zero is also zero itself.
