Applications Of Derivatives

Earning credentials in Calculus demonstrates to prospective employers competencies that are essential to engineering, economics, education, and finance require a foundational knowledge of calculus concepts to understand and perform tasks in their daily responsibilities. Specifically, this badge demonstrates the earner's ability to apply derivatives as a tool in order to find the optimal solutions to problems such as finding extreme values of functions, analyzing the shapes of graphs, solving equations numerically, recovering a function from its derivative, and applying the Mean Value Theorem.
