Slide 114 / 213 Writing Equations of Lines Recall from Algebra, that in order to write an equation of a line you either need 2 points, or a slope and a point. If we are asked to find the equation of a tangent line to a curve, our line will touch the curve at a particular point, therefore we will need a slope at that specific point. Now that we are familiar with calculating derivatives (slopes) we can use our techniques to write these equations of tangent lines. Slide 115 / 213 Slide 115 (Answer) / 213

Slide 118 (Answer) / 213 Normal Lines In addition to finding equations of tangent lines, we also need to find equations of normal lines. Normal lines are defined as the lines which are perpendicular to the tangent line, at the same given point. y = x 2 This question is meant to be in Teacher Notes general, for any normal line, not necessarily this specific curve. tangent line normal line at x = 1 Allow students to discuss how to at x = 1 come up with the slope of the normal line, hoping they make the connection that perpendicular lines have opposite reciprocal [This object is a teacher notes pull tab] slopes.

Slide 131 / 213 Derivatives of Exponential Functions By considering a particular value of a, , we are able to see the proof for the derivative of exponential functions.

Slide 165 / 213 Continuity vs. Differentiability Return to Table of Contents Slide 166 / 213 Definition of Continuity In the previous Limits unit, we discussed what must be true for a function to be continuous: Definition of Continuity 1) f(a) exists 2) exists 3) Differentiability requires the same criterion, as well as a few others. Slide 167 / 213 Differentiable Functions In order for a function to be considered differentiable, it must contain: · No discontinuities · No vertical tangent lines · No Corners "sharp points" · No Cusps
Slide 168 / 213 Differentiability Implies Continuity If a function is differentiable, it is also continuous. However, the converse is not true. Just because a function is continuous does not mean it is differentiable. What does this mean??? Consider the function: Notice: If we were asked to find the derivative (slope) at x=0, there is a sharp corner. The slope quickly changes from -1 to 1 as you move closer to x=0. Therefore, this function is not differentiable at x=0. Slide 168 (Answer) / 213 Another way to explain to this to students is to Differentiability Implies Continuity draw several tangent lines at x=0 and show that they all have different slopes. If a function is differentiable, it is also continuous. Teacher Notes However, the converse is not true. Just because a function is continuous does not mean it is differentiable. Because there is not one single tangent line that can "balance" at x=0, it is not differentiable at this point. What does this mean??? Consider the function: Another explanation: Imagine zooming in on the function, like we have previously done. The function must resemble a line ("locally linear") to Notice: If we were asked to find the [This object is a teacher notes pull tab] be differentiable. derivative (slope) at x=0, there is a sharp corner. The slope quickly changes from -1 to 1 as you move closer to x=0. Therefore, this function is not differentiable at x=0. Slide 169 / 213 A FUNCTION FAILS TO BE DIFFERENTIABLE IF...
