Derivatives and their applications

This lesson is part of the full course.

In it you will learn to:

  • Differentiate fluently with the product, quotient and chain rules, implicitly, logarithmically, and for inverse functions
  • Apply the mean value theorem and Rolle's theorem to bound functions and count roots
  • Find and classify extrema, including on closed intervals, and solve optimization and related-rates problems
  • Count solutions of f(x)=cf(x)=c from monotonicity and concavity
  • Know the subtle facts: differentiable implies continuous, derivatives need not be continuous but have the intermediate value property
