There have been many topics introduced in class, are there any questions or comments about derivatives, limits, or second derivatives? Also try and find an occupation that uses some or all of these tools!
i could not find a simpler why to do them, but i would think there would be (I only did a quick Google search). But as of right now derivatives have their hard moments and easy moments. It seemed like i was just getting them down when something harder came along. For example, now we have second derivatives which seem to be more in depth. I might need to do some more research, and studying.
I think, in general, derivatives are pretty simple once you get the hang of them. But I'm a little confused since we started story problems. I'm not always sure whether to plug numbers into the derivative or the original equation. Also, derivatives are used in chemistry to find rates of decay and of chemical reactions.
Derivatives seem really simple to me...but so far calculus seems like once you grasp the basic concept of our topic, you're really pretty much good to go. Nothing's been super difficult yet. Let's hope it stays that way. And as for occupations where you use derivatives, many jobs that involve computers require a basic knowledge of calculus, as well as engineering jobs.
I find that derivatives are pretty simple. Although the ones that I have been having problems with occasionally are the ones where you have to find a slope. I'm not really sure why. Whenever it is explained in class it all makes sense but when i do it in the homework those are the ones that i always struggle with. As for jobs I think the majority of the ones in the math field could potentially use derivatives. For the most part, anything that relates two values at the same time most likely uses a derivatives process.

ReplyDeleteI think you'll find that calculating derivatives becomes really easy with practice--although I agree that more studying is probably not a bad idea.

ReplyDeleteDeivatives definitely have their good and bad moments, but lile Mr.Nearss said they get easier with practice and a lot of PATIENCE!

ReplyDeleteThanks for the comments this week.
