Week 5: 11/11-11/15
Posted by David Rau on 11/11/201911/11
Today we learned how to use derivatives to find limits that initially show as indeterminate forms. it's called L'Hospital's Rule!

11/4-11/8
Posted by David Rau on 11/4/201911/4
Today we reviewed MVT, Min max on closed domains and finding absolute minimums and maximums over the entire domain of a function
11/5
Today we introduced the idea of inflection points and concavity
11/6
Today we quickly stated how the second derivative helps determine when a critical point is a local min or max.
We then worked through Ap classroom
11/7
Today we quizzed on probability and combining random variables. We then quickly introduced the idea of the binomial distribution and probability equation

Week 3: 10/28-11/1
Posted by David Rau on 10/28/201910/28
Today we talked about local linearity, the mean value theorem, and critical points
10/29
Today we talked about critical points some more and introduced intervals of increasing and decreasing
10/30
Today we talked about finding intervals of increasing and decreasing further.
11/1
Today we took a nasty quiz and then working on finding relative minimums and maximums as well as absolute min and max's on closed intervals

Week 2: 10/21-10/25
Posted by David Rau on 10/21/201910/21
Today we talked about related rates that involve the Pythagorean Theorem
10/22
Today we talked about the crazy related rates
Quiz Wednesday on Related Rates
10/25
Today I'm out of town but I know each of you are totally capable of working through these Khan assignments.
The preffered order of completion should be:
1. Approximation with local linearity
2. Using mean value theorem
3. Find critical points
4. increasing/Decreasing intervals
5. Relative minima/maxima
6. Absolute min max on closed intervals
7. Concavity intro
8. Inflection points intro
9. Find inflection points

Week 1: 10/14-10/18
Posted by David Rau on 10/14/201910/11
today we went over a lot of interpretations of derivatives and introduced related rates
10/14 NO SCHOOL
10/15
Today we recapped and tried a few more problems from Friday
10/18
Today we got into related rates in which some problems have one moving variable, and some problems have more than one.
