Explain differentiation in simple language Share with your friends Share 0 Rohit Babu answered this Dear Student,Differentiation is the process of finding the rate of change of one variable with respect to another variable.There are many physical phenomena that involves changing quantities and their rate of change.For example,the rate of change of distance with respect to time gives the speed.Here distance is changing with respect to time.Distance depends upon an independant variable time.Thus differential calculus is concerned with the rate of changeof a dependant variable with respect to an independant variable.Suppose we have a function y=f(x)y→Dependant variablex→Independant variableThe rate of change of y with respect to x is,(differential of y with respect to x)dydx=ddxfxDifferentiation is the act of finding the rate of change of the gradient/slope of any function while integration gives the area under the curve of function with respect to the x axis.Regards. 0 View Full Answer
