Target Goals
Relate the concept of slope
with the limit definition of a
derivative; understand the
relationship between the
graph of a function and its
derivative
Write equations of tangent
lines and determine where a
function is differentiable
using interval notation
Apply the power rule and
trig rules for taking first
derivatives
Continue to apply the power
rule and trig rules for taking
first derivatives, write
equations of tangent lines,
determine values where
horizontal tangent lines exist
Apply first derivatives to
problem solving situations

Rule and Quotient Rule to
take first derivatives
Continue to apply the
Product Rule and Quotient
Rule, also learn the
remaining four trig
derivative rules
Review writing equations of
tangent lines and determine
where horizontal tangent
lines occur
