Lesson Exchange: Maxima-Minima (Differential Calculus) (Senior, Mathematics)

It's nice to know that there are actual real-world uses of derivatives. Scholars review their knowledge of the applications of derivatives from the unit. They work on a set of practice problems to test their understanding.

In this calculus worksheet, students are given 10 short-answer problems regarding functions, derivatives, minima, maxima and extremes.

If only there was a reference that listed all the formulas covered in calculus. Luckily, there is. This comprehensive 197-page handbook provides formulas and explanations for all topics in AP Calculus or in a standard college calculus...

Differentiate between the exams. Using the Q&A document, teachers compare the free-response questions that BC test-takers see to those that AB test-takers see. The pupils see which questions come from AB content and also those that...

Forgot how to multiply matrices? Well, this app can help. It is like a gigantic, well-organized reference card for all things math. Customize your personal reference material by adding your own notes and build up a personalized list of...

Before solving any problems, Sal gives an overview of what happens to the slope, first derivative, and second derivative at local maxima and minima to give the viewer a more intuitive feel for these types of problems.

Sal spends most this video explaining what the Mean Value Theorem says in a very intuitive way. He follows this with a concrete example of finding the value of a function on a closed interval where the slope is the same as the average...

Close the chapter on extrema on a closed interval. Watching an informative video provides scholars with an opportunity to learn about extrema. Specifically, they see how to find the global maxima and minima on a closed interval by first...

Derivatives are so fun that sometimes one wants to take the derivative multiple times. The sixth of seven installments in Unit 3 - Differentiation focuses on finding higher-order derivatives. After learning about the notation, scholars...

In this algebra activity, learners find the maxima and the minima of the parabola. They calculate the maximum and minimum area and apply the formulas of polygons to help them solve equations. There are 8 questions with an answer key.
