It's time to put analytical applications to work. Learners use the eight questions of the mid-Unit 5 review to refresh their memories of the key points. Pupils apply what they have learned to use the Mean Value Theorem, find extrema given the equation or graph of the derivative, and find when a function is decreasing. Given the equation of the function, the scholars find extrema and intervals of concavity of the function.
