Application of Derivatives -15 Open-Ended Questions (solutions provided)

These are 15 open-ended carefully chosen questions concerning the following:

❄ determining intervals of increasing and decreasing (2nd , 3th and 9th problems)

❄ finding local and absolute extrema (1st , 7th and 12th problems)

❄ finding inflection points (10th and 15th problems)

❄ determining intervals of concavity (9th problem)

❄ finding the slope and the equation of the tangent and the normal lines at a point

( 5th , 8th ,11th , 13th and 14th problems)

❄ computing second and higher order derivatives at a point (4th and 6th problems)

The functions included are rational, radical, trigonometric, inverse trigonometric, exponential, and logarithmic (common and composite functions).

I hope that the practice sheets give your students enough room to show their work.

This product is useful for independent and group practice, homework assignment or as an assessment.

Detailed answer keys/solutions (handwritten clearly) are included.
