Calculus I (MAT 145) Dr. Day Monday September 25, 2017 Secants Slopes to Tangent Slope: Using Limits (2.7/2.8) The Definition of Derivative (2.7/2.8) Uses and Applications of the Derivative (2.8) Monday, September 25, 2017 MAT 145
The value f ’(a) is called: the derivative of f at x = a, the instantaneous rate of change of f at x = a, the slope of f at x = a, and the slope of the tangent line to f at x = a. Monday, September 25, 2017 MAT 145
The derivative in action! S(t) represents the distance traveled by some object, where t is in minutes and S is in feet. What is the meaning of S’(12)=100? Monday, September 25, 2017 MAT 145
Here is the graph of the function y = |x|. Why does the derivative NOT exist at x = 0? Monday, September 25, 2017 MAT 145
Three situations for which a derivative DOES NOT EXIST! Monday, September 25, 2017 MAT 145

Here is the graph of a function f. Use it to sketch the graph of f ’. Monday, September 25, 2017 MAT 145
Match each function, a-d, with its derivative, I-IV. Monday, September 25, 2017 MAT 145
Identify each curve. Explain your choices. Here are the graphs of four functions. One repre- sents the position of a car as it travels, another represents the velocity of that car, a third repre- sents the acceleration of the car, and a fourth graph represents the jerk for that car. Identify each curve. Explain your choices. Monday, September 25, 2017 MAT 145
