rules for evaluating limits gradients via first principles

what is a gradient function? what is the x-intercept of a gradient function? power rule Chain rule Product rule Quotient rule

Implicit equation and implicit differentiation Parametric equations

finding gradient functions by sketching finding gradient functions by rule finding gradient functions using your CAS curve components identify increasing curve identify decreasing curve find equations of tangents and normals identify and classify stationary points second derivative properties of the second derivative concavity identifying concavity sketching graphs solve problems using calculus solve maximising problems solve minimising problems what is a rate using calculus to solve rate problems explicitly use the chain rule to solve rate problems solve worded and contextual problems using calculus

Investigation
Investigation this week is to create on an A4 piece of paper, a summary sheet for your exam. It can be double sided, but must be handwritten. HAND IN ON EXAM DAY!

Quiz Forum

Quizzes from weeks 9, 12, and 15 should be completed AGAIN before your exam.

Forums from weeks 10 and 13 should be completed and checked for comments or feedback.
