Lesson Topic
Second Derivative Test
Lesson Outline
We spent the entire session working what Jess called a "beast" of a problem in which we examined a function, its first and second derivative and used the latter to determine where the function was concave up and concave down. We also used the graphing calculator and explored whether our intuitive 'guestimates' matched up with our analytical results. They did!

Lesson Comments
This was an excellent class. Jess soldiered on even though she was miserable with upper respiratory issues and together we made a discovery about using the calculator for finding a function's concavity by graphing the function's second derivative. Yay!
