Topics/WebWork

We finished Sec 3.3, covering the Product Rule and Quotient Rule, and went through some examples from the WebWork sets for each of these. We also introduced the Chain Rule (Sec 3.6 of the textbook), for differentiating a composite function–we will cover this in more detail next week, as well as the derivatives of the trig functions (Sec 3.5).

Exam #1

We will have our first midterm exam tomorrow, Wednesday Oct 9. I posted a list of review exercises for the exam here, which includes the two quizzes (quiz solutions can be found at OpenLab Files), examples from the textbook, and most of the open WebWork set “Derivatives – Power Rule.”

We spent most of Monday’s class reviewing for the exam by going through some of these exercises–see below.

(Note that the college is closed next Monday (Oct 14), but on Tuesday Oct 15 all classes follow a Monday schedule. So next week we will have class on Tuesday and Wednesday.)
