Lesson Topic
Extrema
Lesson Outline
We will begin with a review of finding extrema using problems in the text. This will be followed by a review of Rolle's Theorem and the Mean Value Theorem and doing some examples from the text. We will begin the section on using derivatives to determine where a function is increasing or decreasing, if time allows.

Lesson Comments
We did examples of finding the extrema of a function. We also did examples of Rolle's Theorem and the Mean Value Theorem. We did not start the study of using calculus to determine intervals where a function is increasing or decreasing. We did a review of factoring quadratic expressions by grouping and by using the ac method to help Josh prepare for his upcoming SAT test. Factoring is also very useful in calculus.
