The Saskatchewan death rate, long in the 7.5â8.5/1,000 range, increased to 9.2 in 2001, perhaps to some extent due to the âbaby boomâ generation of the 1950s now reaching retirement age, but mostly due to a significant expansion of older-aged population.
Differentiation is an operation that allows us to find a function that outputs the rate of change of one variable with respect to another variable. Informally, we may suppose that we're tracking the position of a car on a two-lane road with no passing lanes.
Differentiation is the action of computing a derivative. The derivative of a function f(x) of a variable x is a measure of the rate at which the value of the function changes with respect to the change of the variable. It is called the derivative of f with respect to x.he total derivative of a function does not give another function in the same way as the one-variable case. This is because the total derivative of a multivariable function has to record much more information than the derivative of a single-variable function.
