pOLynOmiaL Curve Learning ObjeCTives:
At the end of the lesson, students should be able to
1. Use derivatives to find intervals on which the given function is
increasing or decreasing.
2. Find maxima and minima and inflection points of functions and to
determine the concavity of the curves.
3. Sketch graphs of polynomial curves.
