AAlgebraic and numerical
BAnalytical and Euclidean
CDiscrete and continuous
DDifferential and integral
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Differential and integral
1. Calculus grew out of algebra and geometry and rests on the idea of a limit.
2. It is made up of two related branches, differential calculus and integral calculus.
3. Grade 12 work covers only the differential branch.
4. That branch is used for rates of change and for optimisation problems.
