How to Do Derivatives in Excel. Microsoft Excel doesn't have the ability to generate a derivative equation from a given formula, but you can still use the program to calculate values for both a ...

Move the point T along the graph of y=sin(x) by moving the slider. The slope function (derivative) is then traced out in blue. Can you identify the graph of the derivative? This is a Java Applet ...

Its derivative (slope) instantly becomes a finite (and constant) value, again portrayed in the lower graph. Next, the function continues to increase, but at a lesser rate (its slope still has a finite ...

What is the derivative and why do you need it in physics? Here is a very quick introduction to derivatives to get you through your first physics course.

Well test analyses that include the first and second derivative of pressure plotted on a semilog scale can help detect radial flow.

Geometrically, the derivative measures the slope of the line tangent to the curve at the point. Note that we can't calculate this without a limit--drawing a line takes two points, but if we take a ...
