Derivative
A mathematical expression representing the rate of change of an unknown function with respect to its variable.
Integral
A mathematical operation used to reverse the process of differentiation, recovering the original function from its rate of change.
Differential Equation
An equation involving an unknown function and its derivatives, often used to model dynamic systems.
Initial Condition
A given value of the original function at a specific point, used to determine unknown constants in solutions.
Initial Value Problem
A scenario combining a differential equation with a specific value of the function at a point to find a unique solution.
Constant of Integration
An arbitrary constant added after integrating, representing the family of all possible solutions before applying conditions.
General Solution
A solution to a differential equation that includes an arbitrary constant, representing all possible functions satisfying the equation.
Particular Solution
A unique function obtained by applying the initial condition to the general solution, eliminating the arbitrary constant.
Higher-Order Derivative
A derivative taken multiple times, such as the second or third derivative, indicating repeated rates of change.
Power Rule
A technique for integrating or differentiating terms involving variables raised to a power.
Sum and Difference Rule
A method allowing integration or differentiation of each term in a sum or difference separately.
Unknown Function
A function whose explicit form is not given but is determined by solving a differential equation.
Variable Substitution
A process of replacing a variable with a specific value, often used when applying an initial condition.
Original Function
The function recovered from its derivative through integration, representing the solution to the initial value problem.
