Derivatives of the Trigonometric Functions

Don't allow those polynomial functions to misbehave! Understand the end behavior of a polynomial function based on the degree and leading coefficient. Learners examine the patterns of even and odd degree polynomials and apply them to...

In this continuity worksheet, learners solve 5 short answer problems about continuity.  Students determine where functions are continuous and find the limits of functions at points of discontinuity.

In this function worksheet, students explain continuous and noncontinuous function and graph derivatives. This two-page worksheet contains seven multi-step problems.

Sal starts an explanation of limits by looking at a basic example of a discontinuous function and takes a more intuitive point of view before looking at a formal mathematical definition in later videos.  He starts by introducing the...

Sal begins his explanation of limits with a few basic examples and takes a more intuitive point of view before looking at a formal mathematical definition in later videos. He starts by introducing the notation for limits and describes...

Graphically find the derivative of sin(x). Using the interactive, pupils graph the slope of the tangent line to the sine function. Class members use the resulting graph to determine the derivative of the sine function. They verify their...

Sal defines the term derivative by taking the listener on a well-organized tour of slope. First, he reviews the concept of slope of a line from algebra, then extends this idea to look at the slope of the curve by first examining a secant...

By defining the formal definition of a derivative, f(x), Sal is able to find the general form of the derivate function for the example f(x) = x2. He continues to stress the importance of an intuitive understanding of derivative functions.

Learners explore lists and determine the derivative for that list. They use regressions to discover equations.
