All of Chapter 4 - Using Derivatives

Chapter 4 is about using derivatives to solve problems.  Some are fun, some may be difficult, many will seem artificial but all of them are good for you.  This is really one of the fun chapters because you get to draw pictures!  All dates are for C-Block.  D-Block has the same assignments on Mondays and Fridays and is a day ahead on Tuesdays and Thursdays.  You may notice that there are no quizzes posted though this is a month long chapter.  They could happen at any time.  Curve sketching, optimization and related rates make excellent one question quiz topics.  Be ready.
