Part 1: How would you describe what the derivative is to someone who has never studied calculus.

Part 2: Take some time to do some research to find how calculus and derivatives are used in the real world (preferably in your field of study). Tell us about this example and how calculus is used in this example being as specific as possible.

Note: Do not just make up an example that you think will work, but research this and include your resources in your post. Credit will not be given without citation.

Part 3: Choose a random binomial degree 1 OR 2. Your binomial should be of the form ax² + bx OR ax + c OR ax² + c.
