Unit 2 - Derivatives (18 Hours)
Unit Description and Learning Goal:
In this unit students will deal with what the concept of a derivative is, in essence, a way of creating a shortcut to determine the tangent line slope function that would normally require the concept of a limit. Once patterns are seen from the evaluation of limits, rules can be established to simplify what must be done to determine this slope function. This unit begins by examining those rules including: the power rule, the product rule, the quotient rule and the chain rule followed by a study of the derivatives of composite functions.
By the end of the unit, you will be able to:
- Find the derivative of a function using first principles.
- Use derivative rules to find the derivative of polynomial functions.
