Derivatives of Functions in Calculus


What are Derivatives?
Derivative is the measure of the rate of change at any given point on a curve. The rate of change of a function is the slope of a line.
The derivative of f(x) when the limit extends from h to 0 is given by the formula:

Derivative of Acceleration
Derivative of acceleration is the rate of change of acceleration with respect to time. It is referred to as ‘jerk’ in technical terms.
How to Find the Derivative?
We have general Derivative Formulas which help to find the derivative of the given function.
Let us consider the following examples:
