DAILY HOMEWORK
Assignments given on day of the lecture and are to be done before the following lecture. The range of days when you should be working on them is in bold.
For your convenience the first few days, I have put assigned exercise numbers here. Eventually, you will see only to “Do the assigned exercises in Sec X”, and the numbers will be found on the pdf Assigned Exercises. Exercises will be taken from other texts and worksheets as well.

REVISED DERIVATIVE RULES AND EXAMPLES
Sept 25-26 Weekend study for Exam 1
The topics to focus on include (the first was not mentioned on Friday):
- Solving for intercepts and roots of a function (critical skill we looked at the first week)
- Domain of functions (interval notation) and graphing piecewise f(x) made up of essential functions
- Find equation of a line tangent to a curve f(x) at a point
- Evaluate limits including the in the definition of the derivative for one function
- Continuity–reading from a graph where a function is not continuous and why it fails according to the definition: f(x) is continuous at x = a if f(a) exists and is equal to lim f(x) as x –> a
- Cost/revenue/profit functions, demand function, break even point, marginal analysis (ideas from handout)
- Derivatives computation, see REVISED DERIVATIVE RULES AND EXAMPLES
- NO COMPOUND INTEREST ON THIS EXAM
Here is a another professor's previous semester exam solutions with some notes on tomorrow's exam
WEEK 6 Sept 27-Oct 1
Wed Sept 29
Implicit differentiation method often lets us find rates of change of one variable with respect to another even if there is no explicit function present. For example, the circle isn't a function, but its tangents are of interest to us. Differentiating the equation without solving for either of its 'branches' (top and bottom semicircles) is easier using ID.
Proof of derivative of natural log function and Proof of derivative of exponential function (base a) both use implicit differentiation.
More ID examples (at 3:30 the ex has a non-trig equation)

Watch Using ln and implicit differentiation to replace product and quotient rule
Do Assigned Exercises in the textbook for Sec 14 Related rates #1–6, 8–10, 12, 13. These are not the ones to hand in, but have them handy to show me later in the week
Friday recording I made a division mistake toward the end. See if you can spot it.
Add to the HW to hand in:Bittinger related rates problems (see Sec 2.7 in that text)
Previous HW said there would be a quiz on Monday, but that was a mistake. The next quiz is Wednesday. Thanks JC for catching it.
WEEK 7 Oct 4-8
Mon Oct 4-Tues Oct 5
Critical numbers . A critical number x = c of a function f(x) is a number in the domain of f where EITHER f'(x) = 0 OR where f'(x) does not exist. The relative extrema of a function occur at critical numbers.
Finding the critical numbers of a function is the first step to examining the behavior that a function models. Where it increases, decreases, attains local extremes and so on.
- Read Sec Sec 2.1 of Bittinger (roughly corresponds to Sec 15 of our book)
- View:
Increasing and decreasing functions
- Do in our text the assigned exercises in Sec 15 on pp 129-130 #2, 4 a-i
Let's move the mini-quiz to FRIDAY. It will be on implicit differentiation and related rates.
Wed Oct 6-Sun Oct 10 Read Bittinger Sec 2.2 (corresponds to our textbook Sec 17; we're skipping Sec 16 for now)
View More finding critical numbers of a fcn
Second derivative test and concavity
I will you make copies of McKenzie summary of Secs 15, 17, 18
Mini-quiz Friday: 1 related rates problem and 1 implicit differentiation, similar to Bittinger word problems.
Bittinger exercises ! Work on these throughout the rest of the week and the weekend. It's not as much as it looks. Some are short answer.
You'll do these instead of our text exercises, and be sure you read the Bittinger sections as well:
Read Sec 2.1 and do exercises #7, 13,19, 21, 23, 27, 29, 71, 83, 89
Read Sec 2.2 and do exercises #9, 13, 27, 35, 39, 45, 49, 51, 103, 109, 113
WEEK 8 Oct 11-15
Mon Oct 11-Tues Oct 12

- View the following videos on curve sketching using skills learned so far:
Examples first and second derivative test to graph functions
Graphing another rational function
Wed Oct 13-Sun Oct 17 
Do over Fall break and hand in on Monday: Practice curve sketching assignment
You may use your notes and videos, but work independently!
For #4, the rational function, I plan to cover it tomorrow. We will do it as an in-class exercise, before you hand it in!
Also, though not to hand in: Revisit the topic of Related rates with supplemental worksheet; the solutions are available at the Supplemental Materials link.
WEEK 9 The assignments are given in one list to work on up till Tues Oct 26, the day before Exam 2
Exam 2 Oct 27 covers Sections 13 through 22 in our textbook
NOTE: DCN's latest lecture available notes are now posted, though one section is missing; he will share it soon
- Read in Bittinger Secs 2.2-2.4 – not every word, but look at the examples and the wonderful graphs
- Do in Bittinger – refer to Steps to curve sketching for guidance (and we will do several in class)
Sec 2.2 #7, 11, 25, 35, 41, 43, word problem #106
Sec 2.3 #3, 7-21 odd, 29, 31, 35, 41 (hole), 49, word problems #63, 65, 67, 73
Sec 2.4 #5, 15, 21, 35, 37, 53, 61, 79, word problem #103
- Short videos on the Sec 16 theorems; a light treatment of the concepts will be on Exam 2:
Extreme value thm which relates to absolute extrema.
In applications, the domain is usually a closed interval, so we need to check not only local extreme values but also the function value at its endpoints. Problems in this will be posted soon
POP MINI QUIZ ON FRIDAY We will correct it in class. It will be on curve sketching!
WEEKEND STUDY FOR EXAM 2
First of all, I realize I never linked you to the Videos for related rates. Here they are!
Implicit differentiation and related rates
Related rates 1: Area of circle and changing radius rate
Related rates 2: Area of triangle and changing side length rate
Related rates 3: Ladder sliding down the wall problem
And finally, a video on related rates that applies to a business application:
Cost and profit with respect to time
WEEK 10 Oct 25-29
Exam 2 review exercises for Monday
In-class solutions of Exam 2 review exercises
Rest of solutions 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6
For WEEKEND 11 Oct 29 - Nov 1
We begin Unit 3 – OPTIMIZATION (maximization/minimization of functions).
We use critical numbers and extrema to find where functions such as revenue, cost and profit reach their max or min. There is also more discussion of demand functions vis-à-vis elasticity of demand and how this plays into maximizing revenue. Price is looked at more closely now. We also look at multivariable functions, which are more typical of real life, since more than one variable type often figures in any of the functions we have studied.
The unit roughly covers Math 220 Course Notes (Geoghegan text) Sections 22-29 and Bittinger Sections 2.4 and 2.5 and Sections 6.1-6.3 and 6.5. We will be reading from both books.
Fri Oct 29 - Sun Oct 31 (boo)
