Derivative as rate of change
• Measurements described as a rate of change is a derivative
• Key words:Cost PER unit produced, profit PER unit soldCost FOR EVERY YEAR, value PER yearMarginal cost: additional cost for producing one
extra item of a product. Additional cost per unit of production
Derivative as rate of change
Key words: Marginal revenue: additional revenue by
increasing product sales by 1 unit: extra revenue PER 1 unit increase in sales
Marginal profit: additional profit for each unit sold: MP=MR-MC.
Demand curve as a rate of change
Demand function: Quantity a consumer is willing to buy for each unit
increase in price
Supply curve as a rate of change
Supply functionThe quantity of goods a producer is willing to
produce for every unit increase in price
