Will Camus: Although Calculus is associated with Sir Isaac Newton, the notation we use in our equations today was invented by another Mathematician, Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz.
Dalila Yoon: 1. Consider the following function. y = x^4 - 10x^2 + 9 Take the derivative to find extrema: y' = 4x^3 - 20x 0 = 4x (x² - 5) x = 0 , +√5, -√5 Local extrema at those values Determine increasing/decreasing by plugging in values into the derivative around those x values. Positive values are increasing Negative are decreasing ================================== Local min occurs when slope goes from negative to positive around extrema. Local max when slope goes from positive to negative. Inflection points are found at x values where the second derivative equals zero....Show more
