Date Due:_________________________             Name:_______________

Answer the following 17 questions in complete sentences:

 

                                  1) What is the study of differential calculus concerned with?

                                  2) What is the central concept of differential calculus?

                                  3) Once you master how to calculate derivatives, how can you use them?

                                  4) Define the analytical representation of a derivative of a function f at a number “a”. Explain what each part of the definition means.

                                  5) Draw a Cartesian co-ordinate system  graph that is properly labeled and marked to showcase exactly what the geometric interpretation of a derivative means graphically. Justify your answer by explaining the details of your graph.

                                  6) How is the derivative interpreted as the slope of a tangent line? Explain.

                                  7) How is a derivative interpreted as a Rate of Change?

                                  8) What is instantaneous velocity?

                                  9)What happens to the y-values of a function when the derivative of a function is a large number?

                                  10) What happens to the y-values of a function when the derivative of a function is a small number?

                                  11) What happens if the theory of derivatives is applied to a particular function say s= f(t) called the position function which models the position  of a particle along a straight line at any time t. NOTE: We are simply APPLYING the derivative theory to a PARTICULAR function and asking: what does the derivative mean IN THIS CASE. If t=a, what exactly does f’(a) mean? Be specific and thorough in your explanation.

                                 12) What is the definition of speed of a particle?

                                 13) What is the difference between average rate of change and instantaneous rate of change, and rate of change? How does the derivative relate to these terms?

                                  14) Define a tabular function.

                                  15) List the two different ways you could use to estimate the derivative of a tabular function? Refer to p.118 Example 5 and p.131 ex 6. Discuss in detail exactly how each method could be used, given a tabular function. Make sure you emphasize the importance of the word “Estimation” versus “Actual” result.

                                  16) What are the units for an average rate of change defined by a change in x divided by a change in y?

                                  17) Who was the first person to formulate explicitly the ideas of limits and derivatives?

15) True or false: All functions have extreme values.

16) State Fermat’s Theorem

17) Give an example from Honors PreCalc library of functions of a function that has 

        f’(0)=0 BUT the function has no max or min value at x=0.

18) True or false: Can you find extreme values simply by setting f’(x)=0 and solving for x?

19) What is a critical number?

20) If you have a continuous function on a closed interval, where are the only two places an absolute max or absolute min can occur?

Lesson Unit/Topic

Comprehensive sweep of topics starting with the  I/D test, Closed Interval Method, Concavity, relative max and min of functions and the innate danger of inadvertently using algebraic rules and ruining your answers to calculus based questions concerning relative extrema. Sign box methods were reviewed as well as the proper verbal representation of sign box results.

Lesson Unit/Topic

  • Definite Integrals are numbers

    Indefinite integrals are families of functions!

    Evaluating definite integrals with Riemann Sums

    Approximations to an integral is best found by using the sample point to be the midpoint of the interval : Use the Midpoint Rule also called MRS

    Every Riemann sum is an approximation to an integral. Only a limit can provide a precise answer.(Do you remember the difference between the average rate of change and the rate of change?)

 

 

 

5.2  The Definite Integral  RO p.326- 332. Hand-In:What is the difference between the area under a curve and the net area?

 

5.2The Midpoint Rule:RO p.332-336. HAND IN:DP 336 1,3,5,7

You  must read 5.3 before Monday

(D; Paraliturgy)

Lesson Unit/Topic

If f is not a positive function the Riemann sum does not represent a sum of area of rectangles. The integral can not be interpreted as an area IF function f takes on both positive and negative values.

In class we discussed particle motion along a straight line and displacement and total distance traveled using integrals.

Handouts on concavity and the trapezoidal rule were given out.

A quiz and extra credit problem were administered at the end of the class,

A)Carefully study all the properties of integrals starting on p.333.

B)Read and outline 5.4

What is the integral interpretation for total distance traveled and dsplacement?

C) Do p.356-357 ,17-25 odd 45-48 for hand-in

D)Also, highlight the concavity packet, look up the trapezoidal rule in Stewart and work his examples for practice before Friday

Lesson Unit/Topic

TRIG SUBSTITUTION(know all three cases and all three substitutions) AND PARTIAL FRACTION DECOMPOSITION(be sure you can do the cases including quadratics in the denominator and at least be able to set up the more complicatede ones)

  • Test return (corrections for quiz grade due March 4th)

  • Chapter 6 Areas between curves and the volumes of solid of revolution.

Review your class notes on Trig Substitution and Partial Fractions. RO all notes form both topics

FOR FRIDAY:6.1 Applications of Integration.RO p.375-380. The problem on p.380 was on the AP exam 2 years ago. PASS IN HW: DP p.380 1-4 all.

Lesson Unit/Topic

  • Volumes of solids and area between curves as well as average value for a function

.Hand in p.380 1-4 all on Friday with the answer to this question:

What is the difference between a right circular cylinder solid and a right cylinder solid?

6.1-6.2: RO p.375-390 DO THIS HW FOR THE NEXT 4 HW evenings. Read and reread this material until it starts to make sense. Make sure you are very diligent about every sentence the author uses. For instance:A cylinder solid does not imply that the base HAS to be a circle. Only right circular cylinders have cylindrical bases. ALL A RIGHT CYLINDER SOLID NEEDS TO BE A RIGHT CYLINDER SOLID is to be a solid bounded by a plane region as a base and a CONGRUENT plane region in a parallel plane. That is why the big slabs of ham on p.383 are actually right cylindrical cross sections. And remember : B means the AREA of the base!!!! Whatever that base shape is!Mr Stewart needs to clarify p.384: “ Notice that….He should say ,  “Notice that for a RIGHT CIRCULAR CYLINDER, the cross-sectional areas are constant”
