Staff Review
This video represents the derivative as a rate of change. Some real-life situations are explained with their units, the dependent / independent variable, and the rate of change in the situation. A ball dropping situation is used as an example of velocity being the derivative of the height function. An example of a pond being stocked with fish is also used to explain rate of change. Several more examples, including a couple of classic Calculus problems, are explained well in this video. -
