Learners identify the critical points to a function. In this calculus lesson, students perform optimization of functions. They use the TI to create a visual of the graph.

In this extrema and optimization learning exercise, students identify all points in the domain and determine the critical points. They compute the second derivative and find the global maxima and minima. This two-page learning exercise...

Test your students' calculus skills with this quiz, the first page of which includes instructions and an honor pledge. On the second page, students find the maximum and minimum values of the of an identified figure with given...

In this calculus worksheet, students determine the intervals in which a given relation is concave up. They determine the inflection points of a given formula. Students use the second derivative test to classify the relative extrema of a...
