Strand B3
Derivatives and Their Applications
Curve sketching and optimization.
- B1.1Coming to StudioCurve sketchingUse first and second derivatives to find extrema, intervals of increase and concavity, and sketch.
- B2.1Coming to StudioOptimizationModel a situation and use derivatives to find maximum or minimum values.
- B2.2Coming to StudioRelated rates and motionSolve related-rates problems and interpret velocity and acceleration as derivatives.
Strand C6
