Derivadas

Derivadas, or derivatives, measure how a function's output changes as its input changes. Think of it as the slope of a curve at a specific point, indicating whether the function is increasing, decreasing, or remaining constant at that moment. For example, the derivative of a car's position over time tells you the car’s speed. In essence, derivatives provide a precise way to analyze the rate of change in various contexts, helping us understand how one quantity responds to changes in another.
