Question

1. isaac newton is credited with the branch of mathematics known as calculus. why did newton form this specialized form of calculations?

to give learned mathematicians harder problems to solve
to was looking for a way to quantify temperatures
to needed a way to measure motion and change
to calculate the distance of the earth from the moon

Explanation:

Newton developed calculus to analyze motion and change, which was crucial for his work in physics (e.g., laws of motion, gravitation). Calculus (differential and integral) provides tools to study rates of change (motion) and accumulation (areas related to motion - distance from velocity). The other options are incorrect: giving harder problems is not the motivation; quantifying temperature wasn't the driver; and calculating Earth - Moon distance (while calculus could be used) wasn't the fundamental reason for its creation.

Answer:

he needed a way to measure motion and change
