Differentiation is used to find slopes of curves, rates of change, and tangents. It also helps in solving real-life problems like maximizing or minimizing quantities, motion analysis, and growth-related problems.

Chapter Insights:
In this chapter, I learned how limits help us understand the behavior of functions near a point, and how derivatives show the rate of change. I also learned their practical applications in analyzing curves, motion, and optimization problems.

Rate of Change – Measures how a quantity changes with respect to another
Slope of a Curve – Derivative gives the slope at any point on a curve.
Tangents and Normals – Used to find equations of tangents and normals to curves.
Maxima and Minima – Helps find maximum and minimum values of functions (optimization).
Motion Problems – Derivatives are used to calculate speed, velocity, and acceleration.

Chapter Learning Summary :
In this chapter, I learned the concepts of limits and derivatives and their applications. Limits help us understand the behavior of functions near a point, while derivatives show the rate of change. These concepts are useful for analyzing curves, motion, and solving real-life problems.
