𝑑𝑦
If 𝑦 = 𝑓(𝑥) represents a line or a curve, 𝑑𝑥 represents the gradient of a line or the
curve at a points. The gradients of the curve at different points will have different
gradients
𝑑𝑦
or 𝑓′(𝑥) is also called the first derivative, the derived function of y with
𝑑𝑥
respect to x
𝑑2 𝑦
o or 𝑓′′(𝑥) is called the second derivative
𝑑𝑥 2
𝑑3 𝑦
o or 𝑓 ′′′ (𝑥) is called the third derivative, etc
