Continuity and Differentiability 2

Activity Overview

Explore piecewise graphs and determine conditions for continuity and differentiability.

Objectives

Explore piecewise graphs and determine conditions for continuity and differentiability.

 

About the Lesson

Students will change slider values on split screens of graphs. The left screen contains the graph of the piecewise function, and the right screen contains the graph of the derivative. This will allow students to see a visual representation of the algebraic process for determining continuity and differentiability.
