WHAT IS CALCULUS?
4
Unchanging Force Speed Changing Steepness of incline Amount of energy MATHEMATICS OF CHANGE
5
MAKE IT LINEAR
6
WHO USES THIS STUFF? Electric company Determining length of cable between two towers Construction Football stadium Calculate area of a complicated, non spherical shape Cost of material, maximum force to withstand Businesses The sensitivity of demand to changes in price varies with product. Light bulbs (need) vs. iPad (want)
7
WHO USES THIS STUFF? Automobile industry Maximum impact on car crash to avoid head injury (thus air bags were born) Forensic Scientists Estimated time of death using “Newton’s Law of Cooling” Musicians Approximate wave functions (detect tones on guitar, pianos, etc.)

LINEAR EQUATIONS Equation of a liney = mx + b Slope of a line = m Y-Intercept = b Greek “delta” symbol
10
SLOPE PROPERTIES Positive Slope Graph: Lines Goes Up Function: Increasing Negative Slope Graph: Line Goes Down Function: Decreasing Zero Slope Graph: Flat Function: Constant
