Exploring Differentiability and Continuity in Calculus

Slide 1 - Tekstslide

Deze slide heeft geen instructies

Learning Objective
At the end of the lesson, you will be able to identify if a given graph is differentiable or continuous.

Slide 2 - Tekstslide

Understanding Differentiability
Differentiability refers to the existence of the derivative of a function at a given point.

Slide 4 - Tekstslide

Deze slide heeft geen instructies

Properties of Differentiable Functions
Differentiable functions are also continuous, but the converse may not hold true.

Slide 5 - Tekstslide

Deze slide heeft geen instructies

Identifying Differentiable Functions
To identify if a function is differentiable at a point, we can use the definition of the derivative.

Slide 6 - Tekstslide

Deze slide heeft geen instructies

Understanding Continuity
A function is continuous at a point if the limit of the function as x approaches that point exists and is equal to the value of the function at that point.

Slide 7 - Tekstslide

Deze slide heeft geen instructies

Types of Discontinuities
There are three main types of discontinuities: removable, jump, and infinite discontinuities.

Slide 8 - Tekstslide

Deze slide heeft geen instructies

Testing for Continuity
We can test for continuity using limit properties and algebraic manipulations.

Slide 9 - Tekstslide

Deze slide heeft geen instructies

Differentiability vs. Continuity
All differentiable functions are continuous, but not all continuous functions are differentiable.

Slide 10 - Tekstslide

Deze slide heeft geen instructies

Graphs of Differentiable Functions
Differentiable functions have smooth, non-cornered graphs without breaks or jumps.

Slide 11 - Tekstslide

Deze slide heeft geen instructies

Graphs of Continuous Functions
Continuous functions have graphs that can be drawn without lifting the pencil and have no holes or jumps.

Slide 12 - Tekstslide

Deze slide heeft geen instructies

Analyzing Graphs for Differentiability
We can analyze the sharpness of corners and presence of breaks to determine differentiability.

Slide 13 - Tekstslide

Deze slide heeft geen instructies

Analyzing Graphs for Continuity
Look for any breaks, jumps, or holes in the graph to determine continuity.

Slide 14 - Tekstslide

Deze slide heeft geen instructies

Interactive Exercise: Identifying Differentiability
Present students with graphs and ask them to determine if the functions are differentiable at specific points.

Slide 15 - Tekstslide

Deze slide heeft geen instructies

Interactive Exercise: Testing for Continuity
Engage students in evaluating the continuity of functions at various points using limit properties and algebraic manipulations.

Slide 16 - Tekstslide

Deze slide heeft geen instructies

Wrap Up: Comparing Differentiability and Continuity
Summarize the key differences between differentiability and continuity and their implications in analyzing functions.

Slide 17 - Tekstslide

Deze slide heeft geen instructies

Wrap Up Activity: Graph Analysis Challenge
Provide a set of graphs for students to analyze and determine the differentiability and continuity of the functions represented.

Slide 18 - Tekstslide

Deze slide heeft geen instructies

Write down 3 things you learned in this lesson.

Slide 19 - Open vraag

Have students enter three things they learned in this lesson. With this they can indicate their own learning efficiency of this lesson.
Write down 2 things you want to know more about.

Slide 20 - Open vraag

Here, students enter two things they would like to know more about. This not only increases involvement, but also gives them more ownership.
Ask 1 question about something you haven't quite understood yet.

Slide 21 - Open vraag

The students indicate here (in question form) with which part of the material they still have difficulty. For the teacher, this not only provides insight into the extent to which the students understand/master the material, but also a good starting point for the next lesson.
