In simple terms, differentiation is the act of finding the rate of change of the gradient/slope of any function while integration is the area under the curve of function with respect to the x axis. Repeated differentiation can also determine if a point is a local maximum or minimum of a function and be used in equations to help explain the motion of objects. Integration, or anti-differentiation, can also be utilised to find the length of a line on a graph, also referred to as a path of a function, the surface area of 3-dimensional graph functions and also volumes of 3-dimensional graph functions. Simply put, differentiation is used to find the rates of change of things, and integration is used to measure lengths, areas and volumes.

∙ 11y agoDifferentiating a function is when you take the derivative, or instantaneous slope, of an equation.
Integrating a function is when you take the integral, or area under the graph, of an equation. It is basically un-deriving an equation.
In other words, integration and differentiation undo each other (like squaring a square root).

No malpractices, please! You should not answer the Work Smart Quiz by asking questions in the internet forums like this!
What are the applications of adder and subtractor?
it can be used in op amp circuits, that is as comparitors or differentiators
What is the main function of an integrator?
An integrator in the control system is an elementary part of a dynamic system. The value of an integrator is the 'content' to consider. The value changes by changing the matter, the temperature or other variables.
ENIAC stands for?
A computer. ENIAC stands for Electronic Numerical Integrator And Calculator.The ENIAC was the first digital computer in the modern sense of the word, built in 1942-1945 in USA.
What is the phase and phase shift in Integrator and Differentiator?
phase shift in integrator is 180 degrees and phase shift in differentiator is 0 degrees
What is the integrator?
Do you mean the Convolution Integral?
What was the electronic numerical integrator and computer designed for?

On which software platforms does the Business Object's Data Integrator operate on?
Business Objects Data Integrator operates on Windows, UNIX, and Linux platforms. It is compatible with various databases such as Oracle, SQL Server, DB2, Sybase, and Teradata.
How does an integrator work?
Mathematically an integrator sums up the values during a given time span. (The area under a curve on a graph is the integral over that section)
