  1. What does tell me? Today students will understand the graphical significance of the derivative.

  2. Knowing if a function increases or decreases tells us something, but not everything about its possible shape. • Draw an example of a function that is increasing everywhere. What type of function behaves like this? Is there more than one possible shape? www.brainybetty.com

  3. Knowing if a function increases or decreases tells us something, but not everything about its possible shape. • Draw an example of a function that is decreasing, then increasing, then decreasing again. What type of function behaves like this? www.brainybetty.com

  4. Knowing if a function increases or decreases tells us something, but not everything about its possible shape. • Find a function that infinitely alternates between increasing and decreasing. What type of function behaves like this? www.brainybetty.com

  7. Sketch the slope function for each function below. What happens to the slope at a corner (called a cusp)? www.brainybetty.com

  8. Sketch the slope function for each function below. At a corner (cusp) the slopes are not the same from both sides, so the derivative does not exist. What happens to the slope at a corner (called a cusp)? www.brainybetty.com

  9. Curve Constructor, Part One www.brainybetty.com

  10. Curve Constructor, Part One • What are the different orientations of arcs that can be created? • For at least four of these, give a sketch and describe a slope statement. www.brainybetty.com

  11. Curve Constructor, Part One • With this tool, you can create arcs of different sizes and orientations. Then multiple arcs can be connected to make one long continuous curve. Create a few long continuous curves that use all possible orientations of arcs. www.brainybetty.com

  12. Curve Constructor, Part One • Using the orientations of the arcs given below, can you draw a close approximation to ANY long continuous curve? www.brainybetty.com

  13. Closure • On what intervals is the function increasing? Is positive or negative? • On what intervals is the function decreasing? Is positive or negative? • Where is • Sketch from this information. www.brainybetty.com
