How to do the First Derivative Test

Kevin:

The first thing you need to know about derivative tests

You got to set your equation to f(x)

Then you got to put your equal sign up next

No Scoota YBS

Just me and my team about to show you the steps

Hold up, let me refresh

Did you see anything that look suspect?

An asymptote will leave a hole in the graph

And ruin your whole thought process

Now you have to make a number line

To plug in all your values that are undefined

Its crazy how I made this rhyme

Pick a number in the interval and you’ll be set

The results will come back positive or negative like an HIV test

If it’s positive, it’s a maximum

If its negative, it’s a minimum

Now you know how to do the test

Ima let my boy Josh handle the rest

Joshua:

Rules! Rules! Rules!

I get so tired of rules

But it’s what puts the pieces of the puzzle together like Blue’s Clues

We’re about to solve this mystery

But this is math so forget history

History is history and math is automatic

If you mess up this test, this will get problematic

I’m not up here to turn yall into addicts

I’m just here to teach a lesson and I’m hoping that yall grab it

The power rule is basic

Move the power to the front of the base and multiply it

Subtract the power by one and you got it

Next rule is the product rule

You know this means multiplication

Don’t worry about any complications

The first function is multiplied to the second function’s derivative

Make sure it’s followed by a plus sign ‘cause addition is the additive

Then the second function is multiplied to the first function’s derivative

Now add ‘em together and you’ll have your answer

This is real basic not the cure to cancer

Now we’re on the quotient rule

Take the denominator’s function and multiply it to the numerator’s derivative

Follow it up with a subtraction sign

Take the numerator’s original function and multiply it to the denominator’s derivative

Then, divide it by the denominator squared

Finally, we got the chain rule

It’s not what you think

Nobody’s getting chained up or put in bondage

But we have to pay homage to the product rule

‘Cause this is nothing but the product rule multiplied to the derivative of the inside

Too many times this rules made people cry

But all of us in here took a swing and tried

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
