Hello everyone! I've been trying to get a better grip on the concept of derivatives. Can someone explain how they are used to find the rate of change of a function?

Certainly! Derivatives are a fundamental tool in calculus that help us understand how functions change. You can think of it as the slope of the tangent line to the function at any point — it's the instantaneous rate of change! 😊

One real-world example is using derivatives to calculate velocity when you know the position function. It's fascinating how derivatives can apply to real-world problems. 🚀
