AP: Derivatives of sec and csc, wrapping up the 6 trigonometric functions; derivatives (esp. using the chain rule) from tables. Lecture notes
Homework: Finish back of derivative tables worksheet
Honors: Further discussion on the limit definition of the derivative, including examples. Lecture notes .
Tuesday
AP: Derivative of ln(x) and e^x. Lecture notes .
Homework (Due thurs, show all work!): worksheet (original) (answers)
Wednesday
AP: Sample AP problems relating to derivatives. No new homework
Honors: The basic rules of differentiation. Derivatives of constants, derivatives of linear functions, derivatives of sums and differences, derivatives of powers (Power Rule), Lecture notes
Homework: (due Fri) p. 113 #3-36
Thursday
AP: Derivative of logs of bases other than e, derivatives of exponents with bases other than e. Notes
Beginning discussion of DIFFERENTIABILITY (important concept). Lecture notes
Homework: packet on differentiable generic graph, due Mon
Friday
AP: More on differentiability, connecting concept to continuity. Differentiability implies continuity. Or, if dy/dx is continuous, then y is continuous. The converse is not true: a continuous function is not necessarily differentiable everywhere (proof: see absolute value graph). Lecture notes already attached, see Thursday's blurb. No new hw.
Honors: Finding equations of tangent lines. Lecture notes
