| 6583178952 | Derivative | A function which gives the slope of a curve; that is, the slope of the line tangent to a function. |  | 0 |
| 6583178953 | Implicit differentiation | The process of finding the derivative of a dependent variable in an implicit function by differentiating each term separately, by expressing the derivative of the dependent variable as a symbol, and by solving the resulting expression for the symbol. |  | 1 |
| 6583178954 | tangent | A straight line or plane that touches a curve or curved surface at a point, but if extended does not cross it at that point. |  | 2 |
| 6583178955 | Secant | A secant is a line that intersects a circle at two points. |  | 3 |
| 6583178956 | Velocity | Describes the motion of an object. The derivative of a position function s(t). | 4 | |
| 6583178957 | acceleration | Describes the motion of an object. The derivative of a velocity function v(t) or the double derivative of a position function s(t). | 5 | |
| 6583178958 | position | Given as a function of x with respect to time, x(t). An object's change in position with respect to time is known as its displacement. | 6 | |
| 6583178959 | trigonometric derivative | Finding the derivative of a function, or its rate of change with respect to a variable. Common functions include sin(x), cos(x) and tan(x). |  | 7 |
| 6583178960 | Continuous | A function that is continuous at every point of the interval . |  | 8 |
| 6583178961 | Differentiable | A function of one real variable is a function whose derivative exists at each point in its domain. | 9 |
