MATERIAL
It is highly advised to have:
- Grid paper.
- Pencils of different colors.
- Eraser.
- A rule.
- A calculator.
- Geogebra installed on your phone/tablet/computer (or use online version).
Define the Problem
- Identify the physical, business, or biological scenario.
- Specify what needs to be analyzed (e.g., motion, profit, population).
Model the Situation Mathematically
Express the scenario as a function or equation (e.g., position vs. time, profit vs. production, population vs. generation).
Apply Calculus Tools
- Use derivatives to analyze rates of change (velocity, acceleration, profit change, population growth).
- Use integrals if total change or accumulation is needed.
Collect or Simulate Data
Gather relevant data points or use simulations to visualize the system.
Interpret Results
- Relate mathematical findings to the real-world scenario
- Draw conclusions about optimal values, growth rates, or system dynamics.
Graph and Analyze
- Plot the function and its either derivative(s) or integral(s).
- Identify critical points (where derivative = 0), inflection points, and behavior over time.
