Handed out Q2 standards and assessments guide. Here is a copy. Debriefed the online exploration of graphical derivatives and connected it to algebraic methods. Learned about the derivatives of exponential and logarithmic functions. Here they are reproduced in full:
Then worked through some examples. Lecture notes posted here.
Homework:
- Finish tan/normal lines worksheet given last Wednesday, due this Wednesday. See last week's Friday post for some examples worked out. (D-CD7) (answers here)
- Selected problems off Excitement with Derivatives wksht (due Friday): #556-572 (evens), 576, 580, 582, 586, 589, 604-606, 609, 610 (D-AD2)
- Assessment on Friday; reassessments available as of Tuesday DS
