  1. Helping math teachers bring calculus to life. Unit 5: Analytical Applications of Derivatives. Unit 1 Unit 2 Unit 3 Unit 4.
  2. Unit 5 Review – Analytical Applications of Differentiation This review summarizes everything from Unit 5 along with examples but contains no problems to work through. DEFINITIONS Extrema: The maximum and minimum points. Extrema can be absolute or relative. Critical Points: Where the first derivative is zero or DNE. These are possible maximum.
  3. Watch the video below while filling out Notes. I recommend you do about 1/4 of the Homework. Doing all this homework is way too much.

FUN-1 Existence theorems allow us to draw conclusions about a function’s behavior on an interval without precisely locating that behavior.

LEARNING OBJECTIVE

FUN-1.B Justify conclusions about functions by applying the Mean Value Theorem over an interval.

FUN-1.B.1 If a function f is continuous over the interval [a, b] and differentiable over the interval (a, b), then the Mean Value Theorem guarantees a point within that open interval where the instantaneous rate of change equals the average rate of change over the interval.
