Do Now: Derivatives (Intro)-2
Students:
Use the limit definition of a derivative to find the derivatives of the functions given to you at the beginning of class. Use this applet ONLY for the sole purpose of checking each result afterwards.
1) y=.1x^2-3
2)y= x^2+1
3)y= x^3-2
Be sure to DRAG THE WHITE POINT around as well! (This should help you better understand the relationship between the graph of the original function and the graph of its derivative function.)
