Math 1120Q [Hide Descriptions]
Functions
  • New Functions from Old
    • Self Test 1 (Quiz on Transformation of Functions) : Determine the relationship between two graphs where one is f(x) and the other is A*f(x) or f(A*x), or f(x)+B, or f(x+B) etc. Comes with instant checking.
    • Applet 1 (Stretching and Compression of a Function) : Look at the graph of A*f(B*x) and observe the effects of changing A and B.
    • Applet 2 (Translation of a Function) : Look at the graph of A+f(B+x) and observe the effects of changing A and B.
    • Applet 3 (New Functions from Old) : Make new functions from old ones by reflecting, translating and stretching.
    • Applet 4 (New Functions from Old Game) : For a function out of a list, there is a proposed target function that can be obtained by performing a sequence of transformations on the given function. In each example you have to find such a sequence of transformations that make the graphs coincide.
  • Inverse of Functions

Limits
  • Limit Laws
  • Continuity
    • Self Test 3 (Quiz I on Continuous Functions) : Use the definition of continuity to determine if a function is continuous or not. Comes with instant checking.
    • Self Test 4 (Quiz on Properties of Continuous Functions)

Derivatives
  • Definition of Derivatives
  • Trigonometric Derivatives
  • Velocity
    • Applet 7 (Average Velocity) : Galileo experimented with falling objects. By meas-uring the distance fallen as a function of time he was able to conclude that the velocity is a linear function and that the acceleration is constant. This applet mir-rors his experiments.
  • Curve Sketching
    • Applet 8 (Behaviour of f, f' and f'' at given points) : Viewing a graph, determine information about a function and its first and second derivative.
    • Self Test 8 (Quiz I on the behaviour of f, f' and f'' at given points) : This is a quiz to test your ability to use concepts of differentiablity to infer information about the graph of a function. Comes with instant checking.
    • Self Test 9 (Quiz II on the behaviour of f, f' and f'' at given points) : You are given the graphs of f, f' and f'' and you have to determine which is which. Comes with instant checking.

Applications of Derivatives
  • Tangent and Secant Lines
  • Mean Value Theorem
  • Linear Approximations
    • Applet 11 (Linear Approximation using the First Derivative)
