Student Guide:

Week 9 is devoted entirely to applications of the derivative: critical numbers, derivative tests, min/max problems, curve sketching. In addition, a technique to calculate certain complicated limits (L'Hopitals rule) is introduced.
  • The first and second derivative of a function can be used to tell us a lot about the original function. The first part of Chapter 4 introduces terminology and these derivative tools. This is then applied to sketch curves and, next week, to solve various application problems in 4.7.
  • Certain special limits can be calculated using the derivative and "L'Hopitals Rule"; this is the content of 4.4.
  • The worksheet this week was taken from a old final exam (winter 2002).
