In simple language, derivative is rate of change of something and integral represents the area of a curve whose equation is known.
The first derivative is the rate of change, and the second derivative is the rate of change of the rate of change.
well, the second derivative is the derivative of the first derivative. so, the 2nd derivative of a function's indefinite integral is the derivative of the derivative of the function's indefinite integral. the derivative of a function's indefinite integral is the function, so the 2nd derivative of a function's indefinite integral is the derivative of the function.
Yes.
The rate of change of a function is found by taking the derivative of the function. The equation for the derivative gives the rate of change at any point. This method is used frequently in calculus.
