WRITING ABOUT MATHEMATICS 3.1
You must find the answers from the text
in the book and quote the exact answer. Then follow up
with an explanation in your own words. Style points count most
heavily in this assignment. This is a first quarter second test
grade that will seriously impact your first quarter grades.
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?

Type all answers in complete
sentences.Copy and paste all test questions and put your answer
AND PAGE NUMBER WHERE THE ANSWER CAME FROM. Be sure to quote
Stewart when you find the exact answer in the book.
1) In your own words, how do derivatives
affect the shape of a graph of a function?
2) How do derivatives help us locate the
maximum and minimum values of a function?
3) What is an optimization problem?
4) What is an absolute maximum for a
function and what is an alternative name for it?
5) Can there be an absolute maximum or
absolute minimum at a point of discontinuity?
Justify your answer.
6) If you are asked to find the extreme
values for a function, what are you really being asked to do?
7) True or false: local max’s and min’s
need to originate from open intervals.
8) What is the difference between a local
maximum value for a function and an absolute value for a
function?
9) Answer #8 for absolute minimums and
absolute maximums.
10) State the Extreme Value Theorem
formally and then in your own words.
11) Can you apply the Extreme Value Theorem
on a function that has only continuity on an open interval?Give
an example to support your answer.
12) Sketch the graph of a function on
[-1,2] that is discontinuous but has both an absolute maximum
and an absolute minimum.
13) True or false:The Extreme Value Theorem
tells us how to find the extremum for a function.
14) When would an absolute maximum not be a
local maximum?
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?
21) State the Closed Interval Method
22) Study example 8 on page 228 and then do
problem #46 on page 231

326-336
READ EVERY LINE!!!!Do
page p.336 35,37,39 all in your notebook.Do the worksheet on
slope fields first then prepare your slope field sheet for hand-in.Make
sure you make notes in your notebook of any questions you may
have and ask next class!! |

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?)

FIRST:
5.2 Geometric Interpretation of an Integral
DP p.338 35-49 odds, 55-60 odds.

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 |

Fundamental Theorem
of Calculus: The Evaluation and the "Area So Far" function
as well as Trapezoidal Rule and U substitution will be
discussed. Make sure your notes have the issue with limits of
integration value changes due to U-substitution!

Read and outline 5.5 U substitution(when do you change the
limits of integration?) and make sure you work Stewart's
examples.Test Thursday on 4.10- 5.1-5.5(all of chapter5 and
4.10))
HOMEWORK:

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.

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”
