Calculus Vectors (MCV4U)

By the end of this course, students will:

• demonstrate an understanding of rate of change by making connections between average rate of change over an interval and instantaneous rate of change at a point, using the slopes of secants and tangents and the concept of the limit;
• graph the derivatives of polynomial, sinusoidal, and exponential functions, and make connections between the numeric, graphical, and algebraic representations of a function and its derivative;
• verify graphically and algebraically the rules for determining derivatives; apply these rules to determine the derivatives of polynomial, sinusoidal, exponential, rational, and radical functions, and simple combinations of functions; and solve related problems.

By the end of this course, students will

• Make connections, graphically and algebraically, between the key features of a function and its first and second derivatives, and use the connections in curve sketching;
• Solve problems, including optimization problems, that require the use of the concepts and procedures associated with the
  derivative, including problems arising from real-world applications and involving the development of mathematical models.

By the end of this course, students will

• demonstrate an understanding of
  vectors in two-space and three-space by representing them algebraically and geometrically and by recognizing their applications;
• perform operations on vectors in two- space and three-space, and use the properties of these operations to solve problems, including those arising from real-world applications; 3. distinguish between the geometric representations of a single linear equation or a system of two linear equations in two-space and three-space, and determine different geometric configurations of lines and planes in three-space; 4. represent lines and planes using scalar
