Derivatives

( Listen to this song... )

(sung to the tune of The First Noel)

The first derivative

Gives us our intervals

Of increase and decrease

Our max and our min

The second derivative

Gives us concavity

Concave up concave down

And inflection points too!

D-uh-riv- iv-atives, D-uh-rivatives

Give us so much help

When we graph functions!
