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.
