    - you might see delta X written as h
    - derivatives are often shown as f'(x) or dy/dx (d is Δ (delta)'s infinitesimally small cousin)

    Isn't speed just distance/time you don't need a derivative for that
    I still don't understand how they work

    • @hontom11
      @hontom11 18 днів тому

      you're right, but the derivative is for speed at a single point (rather than an interval of time) where both distance and time are 0, making that division impossible. that's why we use a limit in the derivative

    • @samueldeandrade8535
      @samueldeandrade8535 17 днів тому

      Hahahahahajahajahaja. There are actually two speeds: average and instantaneous.
      Derivative is the instantaneous speed. Do you get it?

    • @MuffinsAPlenty
      @MuffinsAPlenty 14 днів тому +1

      Imagine you're driving a car. As you go throughout your route, sometimes you will speed up, and sometimes you will slow down. When you're done with your trip, you can find the total distance you traveled (read it off the odometer, for instance) and divide it by the amount of time the trip took. And you will get a speed. But that will be your average speed, not your instantaneous speed. What taking (total distance)/(total time) gives you is a speed, but it's not your speed at any one given point. Instead, it gives you a speed that, if you had been constantly traveling at that single speed without every changing speed, you would travel the same distance in the same time. So that's why it's an average speed. It averages out all of the speeds your were traveling at any given moment. Let's say your average speed is 40 mph. But there were times during your trip where you could look down at the speedometer and see speeds like 30 mph or other times when maybe you had speeds of 50 mph. Those are instantaneous speeds. They're the speeds of "right now". Real-time speeds. That's what the derivative captures.
