Concepts of graphing functions modules
Overview
After completing this section, students should be able to do the following.
- Understand what information the derivative gives concerning when a function is increasing or decreasing.
- Understand what information the second derivative gives concerning concavity of the graph of a function.
- Interpret limits as giving information about functions.
- Determine how the graph of a function looks based on an analytic description of the function.
What's the graph look like?
Ximera Module
Two young mathematicians discuss how to sketch the graphs of functions.
