APC.09 The student will apply formulas to find derivatives. This will include derivatives of algebraic, trigonometric, exponential, logarithmic, and inverse trigonometric functions;
derivations of sums, products, quotients, inverses, and composites (chain rule) of elementary functions; derivatives of implicitly defined functions; and, higher order derivatives of algebraic, trigonometric, exponential, and logarithmic, functions. *
* AP Calculus BC will also include finding derivatives of parametric, polar, and vector functions.
Activity: This activity allows the user to plot ordered pairs and parametric equations on the same coordinate plane. The applet is similar to GraphIt, but instead allows users to explore the parametric representation of a function.
Activity: This activity allows the user to explore the polar coordinate system. The applet is similar to GraphIt, but instead allows users to explore the representation of a function in the polar coordinate system.
