WHAT IS A DERIVATIVE FUNCTION?

 Assume that y=f(x) is a function at point X0. Then

the derivative function is obtained using this
formula:

 IMPORTANCE OF DERIVATIVE
FUNCTION
 The derivative function
measures the
STEEPNESS of the
graph of a function at
ANY point on the
graph. Thus, the
derivative is a slope.
(Also referred to as
gradient)

 RADAR GUNS
 Police officers use radar
guns
 The radar gun's job is to
detect the time and
distance in which the
radar is able to hit the
license plate.
 With the use of
derivatives, the radar gun
is calculating the speed
of the car and the
distance the car was from
the radar gun.
