Calculus

Looked at implicit differentiation while tutoring today. We looked at some problems involving implicit differentiation. The derivatives you take earlier on are technically explicit …

We started by reviewing the chain rule. Sometimes he would get mixed up and apply something that looked like the chain rule to the end of an integral. For indefinite integrals, you add a constant to …

We looked at problems with integration involving trig functions. That led to reviewing two areas, trig functions of common angles and going over the chain rule. Spent a bit of time on both of those …

We spent some time looking at linear equations in business situations. Profit, cost, revenue, and demand. They work like similar problems, just with business concepts incorporated. They tend to use …

We mostly went over review problems that had to do with optimization, much like the earlier test. One problem had three variables, therefore it had one primary equation and two secondary equations. …

Limits mean going towards something. Sometimes you approach a different point from the left and right. Most of the limit problems we saw have the limit of f(x) as x goes to some number, often times …
