You
need to be able to do the
following:
- Find the
equation for a tangent line (sec. 2.6 #7-10)
- Find the
derivative of a function using the definition of a derivative (section
2.8 #19-25).
- Solve problems
concerning velocity and/or rate of change (sec. 2.6 #14-25)
- Draw a rough
sketch of f ‘(x) given the graph of f(x) (sec. 2.8 #1,2,4-11)
- Draw a rough
sketch of f(x) given the graph of f ‘(x) (sec. 2.10 #1,2,11,12)
- Use a graph of
f ‘(x) to determine on what intervals f(x) is increasing and
decreasing, on what intervals f(x) is concave up and concave down, and
where there are local maxima and minima (sec.2.10#3,11,12, 21,23,24
- Find just
about any derivative using rules of differentiation (all of chapter 3)
- Differentiate
a parametric curve (sec. 3.5#65-67)
- Use implicit
differentiation to find the derivative of an implicit function (sec.
3.6)
- Use
logarithmic differentiation to find derivatives of particularly complex
functions (I will tell you when to use it) (sec.3.7 #27-36)
