All West Virginia teachers are responsible for classroom instruction that integrates content standards and objectives and mathematical habits of mind.  Students will deepen and extend their understanding of functions, continuity, limits, differentiation, applications of derivatives, integrals, and applications of integration. Students will apply the Rule of Four (Numerical, Analytical, Graphical and Verbal) throughout the course and use available technology to enhance learning.  Student will use graphing utilities to investigate concepts and to evaluate derivatives and integrals. Mathematical habits of mind, which should be integrated in these content areas, include:  making sense of problems and persevering in solving them, reasoning abstractly and quantitatively; constructing viable arguments and critiquing the reasoning of others; modeling with mathematics; using appropriate tools strategically; attending to precision, looking for and making use of structure; and looking for and expressing regularity in repeated reasoning. Students will continue developing mathematical proficiency in a developmentally-appropriate progressions of standards.  Continuing the skill progressions from previous courses, the following chart represents the mathematical understandings that will be developed:

Algebra

M.C.1

Use abstract notation to apply properties of algebraic, trigonometric, exponential, logarithmic and composite functions, as well as their inverses, represented graphically, numerically, analytically, and verbally; and demonstrate an understanding of the connections among these representations.

M.C.2

Demonstrate a conceptual understanding of the definition of a limit via the analysis of continuous and discontinuous functions represented using multiple representations (e.g. graphs and tables).

M.C.3

Use the properties of limits including addition, product, quotient, composition, and squeeze/ sandwich theorem to calculate the various forms of limits:  one-sided limits, limits at infinity, infinite limits, limits that do not exist, and special limits such as limx0sin(x)x=1 and limx01cos(x)x=0.

M.C.4

Apply the definition of continuity to determine where a function is continuous or discontinuous including continuity at a point, continuity over an interval, application of the Intermediate Value Theorem, and graphical interpretation of continuity and discontinuity.

M.C.5

Investigate and apply the definition of the derivative graphically, numerically, and analytically at a point, conceptually interpreting the derivative as an instantaneous rate of change and the slope of the tangent line.

M.C.6

Discriminate between the average rate of change and the instantaneous rate of change using real-world problems.

M.C.7

Recognize when the Extreme Value Theorem indicates that function extrema exist.

M.C.8

M.C.15

Use limits to deduce asymptotic behavior of the graph of a function.

M.C.16

Compare and contrast the limit definition (not delta epsilon) of continuity and the graphical interpretation of the continuity of a function at a point; recognize different types of discontinuities.

M.C.17

Develop tangent lines as best linear approximations to functions near specific points; explain this conceptually; and construct these tangent lines; and apply this concept to Newton’s Method.
