    Symbolab. Symbolab is an answer engine [1] that provides step-by-step solutions to mathematical problems in a range of subjects. [2] It was originally developed by Israeli start-up company EqsQuest Ltd., under whom it was released for public use in 2011. In 2020, the company was acquired by American educational technology website Course Hero.

  3. Rate of change - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rate_of_change

    Rate of change may refer to: Rate of change (mathematics), either average rate of change or instantaneous rate of change. Instantaneous rate of change, rate of change at a given instant in time. Rate of change (technical analysis), a simple technical indicator in finance.

  4. Difference quotient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Difference_quotient

    lim Δ P → 0 {\displaystyle \lim _ {\Delta P\rightarrow 0}\,\!} ), then ΔF (P) is known as an infinitesimal difference, with specific denotations of dP and dF (P) (in calculus graphing, the point is almost exclusively identified as "x" and F (x) as "y"). The function difference divided by the point difference is known as "difference quotient":

  5. Second derivative - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_derivative

    In calculus, the second derivative, or the second-order derivative, of a function f is the derivative of the derivative of f. Informally, the second derivative can be phrased as "the rate of change of the rate of change"; for example, the second derivative of the position of an object with respect to time is the instantaneous acceleration of ...

  6. Jerk (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerk_(physics)

    Jerk (physics) In physics, jerk (also known as jolt) is the rate of change of an object's acceleration over time. It is a vector quantity (having both magnitude and direction). Jerk is most commonly denoted by the symbol j and expressed in m/s 3 ( SI units) or standard gravities per second ( g0 /s).

  7. Differential calculus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_calculus

    Calculus. In mathematics, differential calculus is a subfield of calculus that studies the rates at which quantities change. [1] It is one of the two traditional divisions of calculus, the other being integral calculus —the study of the area beneath a curve. [2]

  8. Rate (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rate_(mathematics)

    In mathematics, a rate is the quotient of two quantities in different units of measurement, often represented as a fraction. If the divisor (or fraction denominator) in the rate is equal to one expressed as a single unit, and if it is assumed that this quantity can be changed systematically (i.e., is an independent variable), then the dividend (the fraction numerator) of the rate expresses the ...

  9. Rate equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rate_equation

    Rate equation. In chemistry, the rate equation (also known as the rate law or empirical differential rate equation) is an empirical differential mathematical expression for the reaction rate of a given reaction in terms of concentrations of chemical species and constant parameters (normally rate coefficients and partial orders of reaction) only ...
