Exam Note:
A2. graph the derivatives of polynomial, sinusoidal, and exponential functions, and
make connections between the numeric, graphical, and algebraic representations of
a function and its derivative;
A3. verify graphically and algebraically the rules for determining derivatives; ap-
ply these rules to determine the derivatives of polynomial, sinusoidal, exponential,
rational, and radical functions, and simple combinations of functions; and solve re-
lated problems.
