The General Power Rule - An Application of the Chain Rule.
Lesson Outline
We discussed higher derivatives (3rd, fourth and fifth) and also a couple of new trig derivatives. We then went to the General Power Rule and compared it to the simple power rule. We spent the remainder of the time applying the rule in solving problems.

Jessica had some very nice points of insight in our discussion.
Today, Jessica and I discussed two narrative essays from The Norton Sampler, noting the ways in which money and power are presented as themes within each work. We also discussed how certain verb tenses contributed to the overall plot of each work.
We worked through a monster problem in which we applied the Quotient Rule to find the derivative of a function that was the ratio of two polynomials. We used the derivative to find the slope of the original function's tangent line and evaluated it a specific point. We used the point to get us the equation of the tangent line. Then we graphed the original function and the tangent line on the calculator and verified the accuracy of our calculations.

Jess's attitude is excellent. She sometimes is a little by problems whose solutions are lengthy and complex, but she's learning to take the one step at a time. She did fine today.
