Applications of differentiation in biology, economics, physics, etc.

The  exercise appears under the Differential calculus Math Mission and Integral calculus Math Mission. This exercise applies derivatives to a problem from either biology, economics or physics.

Types of Problems
There is one type of problem in this exercise:


 * 1) Solve the applied word problem from the sciences: This problem has a word problem written from the perspective of the social, life or physical sciences. The student is expected to solve the problem in context and answer the questions appropriately.Aodibepe1.png

Strategies
Knowledge of derivatives and their interpretations are encouraged to ensure success on this exercise.
 * 1) Biology problems can relate to growth or decay of populations.
 * 2) Physics problems can relate to rectilinear motion.
 * 3) Economic problems can be about many business type problems.

Real-life Applications

 * 1) Most of the problems in this subsection are applications in some sense, so the majority of the exercises are applications also.
