A particle moves on a vertical line so that its coordinate at time t is y = t^3 - 12t + 3, for t > 0. Find the velocity and acceleration functions. When is the particle moving upwards and when is it moving downwards? Find the distance the particle moves in the time interval t = 1 to t = 3. This problem is graded for correct method and accuracy. 2. Find an equation of the line through the point (3, 5) that cuts off the least area from the first quadrant. This problem is graded for correct method and accuracy. Repeatable No Methods of Instruction Lecture/Discussion Distance Learning Lecture: Interactive lecture format to develop the concept of what a derivative represents, given a variety of functions (e.g., rational, polynomial, trigonometric, exponential, logarithmic). To help students see the commonalities and differences between the derivatives of each type of function, the instructor will incorporate algebraic analysis through equations and visual analysis through graphing. Students will participate verbally and will work several examples. (Objectives 2 & 4) In class, small group collaborative learning activities will focus on applied physics problems involving derivatives. These will include analysis of velocity, acceleration, and other instantaneous rates of change. After an instructor lecture on derivatives, students will practice reading problems, interpreting problems, and developing solutions with peers. (Objective 7) Distance Learning Video lectures develop the concept of what a derivative represents, given a variety of functions (e.g., rational, polynomial, trigonometric, exponential, logarithmic). To help students see the commonalities and differences between the derivatives of each type of function, the instructor will incorporate algebraic analysis through equations and visual analysis through graphing. Students will participate in a discussion board to post work from several examples for peer review. (Objectives 2 & 4) In small virtual groups students will be create a wiki-page showing an applied physics problems involving derivatives. These will include analysis of velocity, acceleration, and other instantaneous rates of change. After a video lecture on derivatives, students will practice reading problems, interpreting problems, and developing solutions to post for peer review. (Objective 7) Typical Out of Class Assignments Reading Assignments 1. Read in your textbook how the first and second derivative of a function influence the graph of the function and be prepared to discuss in class. 2. Research online the history of the development of calculus, including Newton and Leibniz and be prepared to discuss in class. Writing, Problem Solving or Performance 1. Write a report on the historical and mathematical origins of l'Hospital's rule. 2. After reading about Newton's and Leibniz's development of calculus, write a 3 - 5 paragraph essay comparing and contrasting each approach.
