Warm up on parent functions. Went over homework; solutions here. Went over more on what a derivative really is. Notes here. Here is a link to the little applet I showed with the red dot showing how the derivative is simply what the slope of a given curve is.
Homework: Tangent line worksheet due Friday; test error analysis due asap
Resources: see last week's post for some; here are more
using the power rule (great examples): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54KiyZy145Y
finding derivative using limit definition and then writing equation of tan line (long but good) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uataz2hvNks
also finds derivative using limit def, and then writes eq: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SiyNlO2T01c
Figured out derivative of sin(x) and did more examples of the power rule.
Homework: p. 114: 3-51 (multiples of 3)
also the worksheet above
resources: forthcoming
Went over homework. Talked about differentiability and its meaning in terms of continuity and corners, cusps, and vertical tangents. Blank hand out, completed handout.
Homework: none
Resources: forthcoming
