Standard(s)
  • 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
        • analyzing the geometric consequences of the Mean Value Theorem;
        • defining the relationship between the concavity of f and the sign of f"; and ​identifying points of inflection as places where concavity changes and finding points of inflection.
  • APC.8
    • Apply the derivative to solve problems.
      • Includes:
        • ​analysis of curves and the ideas of concavity and monotonicity
        • 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;
