Derivatives

Student Expectations:

Focus Standards

EU 2.1: The derivative of a function is defined as the limit of a difference quotient and can be determined using a variety of strategies

    • EK 2.1C2: Specific rules can be used to calculate derivatives for classes of functions, including polynomial, rational, power, exponential, logarithmic, trigonometric, and inverse trigonometric.
    • EK 2.1C5: The chain rule is the basis for implicit differentiation

Student Learning Targets:

  • I will calculate derivatives of inverse trig. Functions
  • I will find derivatives of functions that are defined implicitly
  • I will use implicit differentiation to find the slope and equation of a tangent line
  • I will use implicit differentiation to find the second derivative of a function
