Derivative as a function
  • Characteristics of graphs of ƒ and ƒ’
  • Relationship between the increasing and decreasing behavior of ƒ and the sign of ƒ’.
  • The Mean Value Theorem
Second derivatives
  • Corresponding characteristics of the graphs of ƒ, ƒ’, and ƒ ”.
  • Relationship between the concavity of ƒ and the sign of ƒ ”.
  • Points of inflection as places where concavity changes.
Applications of derivatives
  • Analysis of curves, including monotonicity and concavity.
  • Optimization, both absolute (global) and relative (local) extrema.
  • Derivative as a rate of change, including velocity, speed, and acceleration.
