Alright, let's imagine you're playing a game where you have to count how many steps you take. Every time you take a step, you mark it on a counter.
So, "differentiation" is like figuring out how fast you're taking those steps. For example, if you take 5 steps in 1 minute, your speed is 5 steps per minute.
Now, "differential" is how much you changed your speed at a specific moment. For instance, if you start walking faster or slower, that's a change in your differential.
And you know what's cool? Understanding this stuff once really helped me out. It's like having a superpower to analyze and make sense of how things are changing. So, differentiation is about determining the pace of your actions, and the differential is the change in that pace at a particular moment. It might sound a bit tricky at first, but once it clicks, it's pretty awesome!
