If you haven’t finished “Derivatives – Functions” yet (due later today), please consult the office hours recording from last Friday (Sept 30) as well as the recording of today’s office hours (Fri Oct 7).

(In particular, I went through “Derivatives – Functions” Problem 6, which involves a square root function. You can also look at Example 3.11 in Sec 3.2 of the textbook–I have included a screenshot of it below.)

After “Derivatives – Functions” please start working on the “Derivatives – Power Rule” and “Derivatives – Power Rule – Part 2:

  • “Derivatives – Power Rule”: we went through most of this yesterday in class, and you can also view the Tues Oct 4 office hours recording
  • “Derivatives – Power Rule”: I outlined how to approach some of these exercises at the end of office hours today

I may update this post over the weekend with additional hints on the Power Rule exercises.
