Description
A project that combines the concepts of continuity and differentiation and applies it to a real world situation. The students must first use both continuity and differentiation to solve for multiple coefficients. They then use the coefficients they have solved for and their knowledge of derivatives to answer questions about the situation. Designed for an AP or Advanced Calculus 1 class.
