This chapter explores additional applications of derivatives, highlighting critical concepts in calculus through various figures and examples. It addresses military expenditure trends among former Soviet bloc countries, increasing and decreasing functions, and critical points on graphs. The chapter features graphs illustrating relative maxima and minima, concavity, absolute extrema, and the relationships between cost, revenue, and profit functions. It serves as a comprehensive guide for understanding the practical applications of derivatives in real-world scenarios including economics and engineering.
