Class Monday

Remember, I will not be in class on Monday.  You are going to be working on #2, #4, #7 and #9 in class and your HW will be #6 and #8.  I will be checking the entire worksheet when I return on Tuesday, so make sure you have every problem except 5 and 10 done.

Reference the videos below if you need help.  Remember YOU CAN DO IT!!  I BELIEVE IN YOU!!!

Tuesday, February 7, 2012

Tonight's (or tomorrow night's) HW:

Watch the following Khan Academy video and take notes.  Then try to re-do the problem yourself.

I know I didn't mention much about how to literally get the second derivative, but all you do is take the derivative of the derivative.  For example,

original function                                first derivative                                   

             


second derivative

 

If you missed class today...or will miss it tomorrow...
