Unit Understandings:

Students will understand that…

the x- and y-intercepts, domain, and range of a function are all important characteristics useful in sketching a graph.

the domain of a function may be described explicitly or it may be implied by an equation used to define a function.

function notation is extremely advantageous in consolidating wordy information for the purpose of a clear understanding in calculus.

composition is the operation of combining functions such that the result of the output of one function becomes the input for the next.

the inverse informally “undoes” what the original function has done.

the limit of a function, if it exists, is used to describe the behavior of a function as it approaches a specific value from the left and right hand side

of the graph.

a limit can be found graphically, numerically, or algebraically.

a function is unbounded if its left or right hand limits approach positive or negative infinity.

one sided limits can be used to determine the continuity of functions.

discontinuities fall into two categories: removable and non-removable.

Unit Essential Questions:

How are limits used to interpret the behavior of a function?

In what ways can a limit fail to exist?

What are the criteria for which a function is continuous on an open or closed interval?

Unit Understandings:

Students will understand that…

a more accurate approximation of the slope of the tangent line can be obtained as a secant line’s two points approach each other.

a tangent line to the graph of a function f at a point is the line that best approximates the graph at that point.

by using the limit process, the exact slope of a tangent line at a point can be found, which is also the slope of the graph at that point.

a derivative is a function derived by the limit process that represents the slope of the graph of a function at a point.

the basic rules needed to differentiate any algebraic function are: the Constant Rule, Constant Multiple Rule, Sum and Difference Rules, Product

Rule, Quotient Rule, (Simple and General) Power Rules, and Chain Rule.

differentiability implies continuity: continuity is not a strong enough condition to guarantee differentiability, however, if a function is

differentiable at a point, then it must be continuous at that point.

the average rate of change of a function is over an interval, whereas the instantaneous rate of change of a function is at a point.

higher order derivatives can be used to find velocity and acceleration of an object.

when differentiation terms involving y, the chain rule must be applied because it is assumed that y is defined implicitly as a differentiable

function of x.

if two or more variables are related to each other, then their rates of change with respect to time are also related.

Unit Essential Questions:

How can a tangent line be used to approximate the slope of a graph at a point?

What is a derivative of a function and how can it be found algebraically?

What is the difference between average rate of change and instantaneous rate of change?

What are the applications of higher-order derivatives?

When is it appropriate to implicitly differentiate a function rather than explicitly differentiate?

Unit Understandings:

Students will understand that…

the derivative of a function can be used to determine whether a function is increasing or decreasing on an interval.

for a continuous function, the relative extrema must occur at critical numbers of the function.

once critical number(s), c, is/are determined, the First-Derivative Test enables you to classify 𝑓(𝑐) as a relative minimum, relative maximum, or

neither.

the term relative extrema describes the local behavior of a function on an entire interval, whereas, the term absolute extrema describes the

global behavior of a function on an entire interval.

locating the intervals on which a function increases or decreases can determine where the graph of the function is curving upward or downward

if the tangent line to a graph exists at a point where concavity changes, then the point is a point of inflection.

the maximum or minimum value desired can be determined first by creating or identifying primary and secondary equations for the quantity to

be optimized, then by using calculus.

the determination of vertical and horizontal asymptotes are valuable aids to curve sketching.

the type of limit in which 𝑓(𝑥) approached infinity or negative infinity as 𝑥 approaches 𝑐 from the left or right is an infinite limit, and 𝑥 = 𝑐 is a

vertical asympotote of the graph of 𝑓. limits at infinity, horizontal asymptotes of a graph, specify a finite value approached by a function as 𝑥 increases or decreases without bound.

differentials can be used to approximate the change in 𝑓(𝑥) that corresponds to a change in 𝑥. In economics, they are used to approximate

changes in revenue, cost, and profit.

Unit Essential Questions:

How can the first and second derivatives of a function be used to analyze its graph?

What is optimization and how can calculus be used to find a desired maximum or minimum?

How are infinite limits and limits at infinity found, and what is their relationship to the vertical and horizontal asymptotes of a graph?

What are the calculus concepts needed to analyze the graph of a function by curve sketching?

discover the First-Derivative test for Extrema

Students will use the table function of the TI-83 or TI-83 Plus graphing calculator to explore various functions and the value of the function as x

gets bigger and bigger. Using the data, students will predict what will happen to the value of the functions as x approached infinity. By

examining different patterns of the functions, students will develop rules for evaluating limits at infinity.

Unit Understandings:

Students will understand that…

the inverse operation of differentiation is antidifferentiation, also called integration.

antidifferentiation is the process of determining the original function from its derivative.

antiderivatives are not unique; the process of antidifferentiation does not determine a single function, but rather a family of functions, each

differing from the other by a constant.

the inverse relationship between integration and differentiation allows you to obtain the integration formulas directly from differentiation

formulas.

all polynomials can be integrated using the five basic integration rules.

in the case of more complicated functions, proceed with integration by substitution.

exponential and logarithmic functions have their own corresponding integration rules which should be used appropriately.

definite integrals are used to find the area of nonstandard regions under a graph which can be negative, zero, or positive.

the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus describes a way of evaluating a definite integral.

as long as two functions are continuous on a closed interval, the area of the region bonded by the two graphs can be evaluated with integration.

the area of a region can be approximated using rectangles.

the Midpoint Rule is used to approximate values of definite integrals for which the antiderivative cannot be found.

Unit Essential Questions:

What is an antiderivative and how can integrals be used to solve real-life problems?

What is the relationship between area and definite integrals?

What strategies can be used to determine area and volume of shapes and 3-D figures?
