    Marta was convinced that there had to be some way to graph y= log2xon her graphing

    calculator. She typed in y= log(2x) and hit EXE.

    It WORKED!Marta yelled in triumph.

    Whaaaaat?said Celeste. I think y= log2x and y= log(2x) are totally different, and I bet we

    can prove it by converting both of them to exponential form.Yeah, I think youre wrong, Marta,said Sophia. I think we can prove y= log2x and

    y= log(2x) are totally different by looking at the graphs.

    a). Show that y= log2xand y= log(2x) are different by sketching the graph of y= log2xusingwhat you learned in previous lessons. Then sketch what your grapher shows to be the graph

    of y= log(2x) .b. Now show that they are different by converting both of them to exponential form.

    A:

    Use the Java Applet on this link for this investigation:

    http://www.intmath.com/differentiation/differentiation-java-applet-polynomials.php

    Use the applet to graph various functions (at least one each from Linear, Quadratic and Cubic). Copy the graph of the

    original function and the graph of its derivative, play with the slider to study when the function is increasing, decreasingand stationary. Record your observations/findings.

    Maths Joke:

    The functions are sitting in a bar, chatting (how fast they go to zeroat infinity etc.). Suddenly, one cries "Beware! Derivation is coming!"All immediately hide themselves under the tables, only theexponential sits calmly on the chair.

    The derivation comes in, sees a function and says "Hey, you don'tfear me?"

    "No, I'am e to x", says the exponential self-confidently."Well" replies the derivation "but who says I differentiate along x?"

    Objective

    To observe the nature of the derivative

    Method

    For , find the gradient of the tangent at , using modelling techniques

    from your graphing calculator. The domain is restricted to 3 3.

    Repeat for , and the rest of the functions. You may record your results in a tabular form.

    Use the above to write a statement about the derivative of the general exponential

    Each winter, the Snowy Mountains Authority makes regular measurements of the depth of snow

    on the ground in a selected area near some of the major ski resorts. A local newspaper has

    published the following graphs snow depth of the 2008 and 2010. Skiers and other visitors find

    it interesting to compare the graphs for different years to debate which was the best year for

    snow was and which was the worst.

    Study the graphs shown below.

    Decide which you think were the best and the worst of the years shown. Think about how you

    might decide which year was the best for snow and which was the worst.

    NOTE: This question is related to concept of Integral Calculus, and is one of the popular types

    of question you would see in ASTs Short Response Paper.

    integral:

    AREA UNDER THE CURVE

    FUNDAMENTAL THEOREM OF CALCULUS

    of-integrals

    2. Study examples on AREA under the curve:

    integration/2-area-under-curve.php

    3. Area between curves:

    http://www.intmath.com/applications-

    integration/3-area-between-curves.php

    4. Notes on Area under the curve:

    http://www.teacherschoice.com.au/maths_libr

    ary/calculus/area_under_a_curve.htm

    (Focus on the notes/explanations and the

    examples, dont have to use Maths Helper Plus)

    Practical Components

    1. Do few questions in Ex 9E in Yr 12 Methods Ebook(Q1 (a,d,g,j,m,p,s), Q2 (a,d,g,j,m,p), Q3, Q7-Q9).

    2. Do few questions in Ex 9F in Yr 12 Methods Ebook

    (Q3 (all-dont have to evaluate, just write an

    expression for finding the area for each),

    Q5(a,d,g), Q6).

    3. Study the worked examples from Chapter 9H (on

    Areas between two curves). Make your notes,

    you may copy the examples and watch the

    tutorials)

    QuizOn cLc.

    By the end of this week, you should be able to:

    Integrate various functions (by hand and by using ClassPad), BOTH

    INDEFINITE AND DEFINITE INTEGRALS

    Understand the use of areas of rectangles to approximate the area under agiven curve between a defined interval

    Understand the use of sigma notation and limits to approximate area under a

    curve

    Relate the above to idea of finding an exact area under a given curve (or

    between curves) using definite integral
