Week+of+10.20.11-10.27.11

Part I- Sketching Functions Using Information from Derivatives
1. Practice graphing functions using derivatives in the packet ( Graphing Functions (gasp!) without a Graphing Calculator ) handed out in class. Here's the original: Use your __//f//, //f '//, //f ''// Summary Chart__ to help you.

2.(//Optional//) Watch the videos for another example of graphing using information from the first and second derivatives: [|Curve Sketching Part I]  [|Curve Sketching Part II]

=Part II- Optimization...WE'LL DO THIS NEXT WEEK =

=Part III (//Optional)-// More Practice with Differentiation = (//Optional//) Watch the videos below to refresh your memory on //differentiating// functions (i.e. finding derivatives from equations): [|Derivatives of Power, Polynomial Functions] [|Derivatives- Chain Rule] [|Derivatives- Product Rule] [|Derivatives- Quotient Rule] <span style="font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 110%;">You may also find it helpful to use the Derivatives "Cheat Sheet."
