Unit 4 - Curve Sketching (18 Hours)

  • Unit 4 - Curve Sketching (18 Hours)

    Unit Description and Learning Goal:

    Determine maximum and minimum values of the graphs of polynomial functions using first derivative test; use the second derivative test to determine the intervals of concavity; sketch the graph of a polynomial function, given its equation, by using 5 steps. This unit will help you understand the fundamentals of using calculus to help us sketch curves, and solve some basic optimization problems.
