Calculus Unit 4

Big Idea:

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
