4 dx does not mean d times x ! dy does not mean d times y ! www.apcalculusbc.com

5 does not mean ! (except when it is convenient to think of it as division.) does not mean ! (except when it is convenient to think of it as division.)

6 (except when it is convenient to treat it that way.) does not mean times ! www.apcalculusbc.com

7 In the future, all will become clear.

8 The derivative is the slope of the original function. The derivative is defined at the end points of a function on a closed interval.

10 A function is differentiable if it has a derivative everywhere in its domain. It must be continuous and smooth. Functions on closed intervals must have one-sided derivatives defined at the end points.  www.apcalculusbc.com
