Calculus Cycle 5 Schedule 10/28-11/13
Cycle Objectives
1. Define and investigate continuity
2. Define the derivative of a function
3. Investigate the derivative as a slope giving functions
4. Discover the power rule
This cycle will be broken into two parts. We’ll spend a few days reviewing limits and defining continuity. This will give us all required foundations to move into calculus. In part two, we’ll move into derivatives. We’ll begin the definition of a derivative and more on the derivative as a slope giving function then move into some of the derivative rules.
10/28 – Continuity at a point and on an open interval
- Pg. 76-77: 25, 26, 28, 33-47 odd, 57, 60, 61, 63
10/29 – Right and Left Hand Limits and Continuity on an open closed
- Pg. 76-77: 1-6, 7-15 odd, 27, 29-32, 99
10/30 – Review
- Review past tests and assignments. Good review problems are: any problems with graphing functions; pg 16 33-42; pg 27 29-32; composite functions,; pg 47 #9 (tangent line problem); pg 88-89: 11, 13, 19, 47; pg 91 #13. You can email me heidiandrj@ct.metrocast.net with questions over the weekend
