Question

What is the derivative of theta?

Answer 1

Theta is a variable, so you treat it just like you would x. So derivative of theta is just 1.

Answer 2

Thanks! So if it was (2-theta) would it equal one?

Answer 3

Okay, the question is: which variable are we differentiating?

Answer 4

\[
\frac d{d\theta}\theta = 1
\]\[
\frac d{d\theta}(2-\theta) = \frac d{d\theta} 2- \frac d{d\theta}\theta = 0-1 = -1
\]

Answer 5

\[\frac d{dx}\theta = \frac {d\theta}{dx}

\]

Answer 6

but if we use theta as an angle, derivation of it will be the angular velocity..
