Some more of what we learned last week, but getting a bit more complicated. Unfortunately this'll be our last session for a little bit (I'm busy the next two Sundays), but we'll start again in March with integral calculus!

Applying derivatives to analyze functions

In this next session, we will go over the second and final part of applications of derivatives, which is applying them to an analytical application. In this session, we will explore the topics of relative extrema, concavity, and more and do practice problems! After this session, we will be done with derivatives! Note: this session will be a little longer.

Applying derivatives to analyze functions

Today we'll be covering... *drumroll*... Mean Value Theorem! It's the meanest theorem you'll use in Calculus and, warning, it might make you cry. No, just kidding. It's actually pretty essential to know for the AP Test, so in this lesson you'll see it for the first time and for many more times to follow. As usual, we'll be going over practice problems together.

Applying derivatives to analyze functions

We’ll review all of the differentiation rules we covered in the first three sessions first. Then, we’ll look at derivative curves, understand the concept of concavity and cover how to find the coordinates of stationary points using differentiation. This session will also explore how to find the equations of tangents and normals to curves at various points.
