In this function and logarithms worksheet, students find the domain and range of functions, use the properties of logs to solve equations. This one-page worksheet contains nine multi-step problems.
Students investigate the absolute maximum of a function. In this absolute value of a function lesson, students find the absolute maximum and minimum of a function on a closed interval of 1 to 4. Students find the derivative of the function and set it equal to zero to find possible absolute maximums and minimums. Students use their Ti-Nspire to complete the investigation.
In this function worksheet, students solve functions with a continuous derivative. This one-page worksheet contains six multi-step problems.
In this function worksheet, students identify functions which are their own derivative. They determine the vertical and horizontal asymptotes of functions. This one-page worksheet contains seven multi-step problems.
In this differentiating special functions worksheet, students solve and complete 5 various types of problems. First, they differentiate each of the given functions. Then, students complete the table using a calculator and plot the points on a graph. In addition they find the slope of the function at a given point.
In this derivative learning exercise, students use the product rule or the function rule to determine the derivative of a given function. This one-page learning exercise contains 14 multi-step problems.
For this functions and derivatives worksheet, students write an equation of a line tangent to a given function. They list the x-coordinate of the critical point, determine the relative minimum, relative maximum and identify functions. This two-page worksheet contains four multi-step problems.
In this graphs and derivatives worksheet, students graph the derivative of a function. They find the intervals and identify the maximum and minimum. This one page worksheet contains three multi-step problems.
In this differentiation of functions instructional activity, students find the first derivative of given functions. Functions contain exponents and square roots. This three page instructional activity contains nine multi-step problems.
In this calculus worksheet, students use the chain rule to derive functions. They use function notations correctly as they solve word problems using the derivative. There are 3 questions.
