Untitled document
At the conclusion of this course, the student should be able to:
1. Find the derivatives of polynomial, rational, exponential, and logarithmic functions.
2. Find the derivatives of functions involving constants, sums, differences, products, quotients, and the chain rule.
3. Sketch the graph of functions using horizontal and vertical asymptotes, intercepts, and first and second derivatives to determine intervals where the function is increasing and decreasing, maximum and minimum values, intervals of concavity, and points of inflection.
4. Analyze the marginal cost, profit, and revenue when given the appropriate function.
5. Determine maxima and minima in optimization problems using the derivative.
6. Use derivatives to find rates of change and tangent lines.
7. Use calculus to analyze revenue, cost, and profit.
8. Find definite and indefinite integrals by using the general integral formulas, integration by substitution, and other integration techniques.
9. Use integration in business and economics applications.
