Calculus AB/BC - Interpreting the Behavior of Accumulation Functions Involving Area

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Accumulation functions should behave like other functions. Using content from Unit 5, pupils analyze the first and second derivative to determine the behavior of an accumulation function. Learners find out how to calculate the relative maximums and minimums, concavity, and intervals of increase and decrease of the functions. They then practice using the skills from the video with the included worksheet.
