      Lesson Objective(s)
      • How can derivatives be used to find rates of change?
      Standard(s)
      • APC.5

        • Investigate derivatives presented in graphic, numerical, and analytic contexts and the relationship between continuity and differentiability.

          • The derivative will be defined as the limit of the difference quotient and interpreted as an instantaneous rate of change.

      • APC.6

        • ​The student will investigate the derivative at a point on a curve.

          • Includes:

            • finding the slope of a curve at a point, including points at which the tangent is vertical and points at which there are no tangents

            • using local linear approximation to find the slope of a tangent line to a curve at the point

            • ​defining instantaneous rate of change as the limit of average rate of change

            • approximating rate of change from graphs and tables of values.

      • APC.7

        • Analyze the derivative of a function as a function in itself.

          • Includes:

            • comparing corresponding characteristics of the graphs of f, f', and f''

            • ​defining the relationship between the increasing and decreasing behavior of f and the sign of f'

            • ​translating verbal descriptions into equations involving derivatives and vice versa

      • APC.8

          • Includes:

            • optimization involving global and local extrema;

            • modeling of rates of change and related rates;

            • use of implicit differentiation to find the derivative of an inverse function;

            • interpretation of the derivative as a rate of change in applied contexts, including velocity, speed, and acceleration; and
