Unit 2 Derivative Concepts
This second unit connects the calculus ideas of a limit with how it relates to velocity. Students will investigate how average velocity relates to instantaneous velocity and discover the practical applications of these newly formed ideas. In addition, students will learn how derivatives can be used as instruments to determine instantaneous velocity.
