In the Introduction to the Derivative video we introduce the notion of the derivative of a function and explain how the derivative captures the instantaneous rate of change of a function. In the ...

Data from an experiment may result in a graph indicating exponential growth. This implies the formula of this growth is \(y = k{x^n}\), where \(k\) and \(n\) are constants. Using logarithms, we can ...

Complete Explanation A logarithm is the power which a certain number is raised to get another number. Before calculators and various types of complex computers were invented it was difficult for ...

A polynomial is an algebraic expression involving many terms and can be factorised using long division or synthetic division. Laws of logarithms and exponents Revise what logarithms are and how to use ...

A PHASE relation familiar to students of applied mathematics exists between a simple harmonic oscillation and its derivative. Similar relations exist between exponential functions and their ...

Often the time derivative of a measured variable is of as much interest as the variable itself. For a growing population of biological cells, for example, the population’s growth rate is typically ...
