Topic Outline for Calculus AB (TEKS) I. Functions, Graphs, and Limits A. Analysis of graphs. With the aid of technology, graphs of functions are often easy to produce. The emphasis is on the interplay between the geometric and analytic information and on the use of calculus both to predict and to explain the observed local and global behavior of a function. B. Limits of functions (including one-sided limits). 1. An intuitive understanding of the limiting process. 2. Calculating limits using algebra. 3. Estimating limits from graphs or tables of data. C. Asymptotic and unbounded behavior. 1. Understanding asymptotes in terms of graphical behavior. 2. Describing asymptotic behavior in terms of limits involving infinity. 3. Comparing relative magnitudes of functions and their rates of change. (For example, contrasting exponential growth, polynomial growth, and logarithmic growth.) D. Continuity as a property of functions. 1. An intuitive understanding of continuity. (Close values of the domain lead to close values of the range.) 2. Understanding continuity in terms of limits. 3. Geometric understanding of graphs of continuous functions (Intermediate Value Theorem and Extreme Value Theorem). II. Derivatives

Appropriate integrals are used in a variety of applications to model physical, biological, or economic situations. Although only a sampling of applications can be included in any specific course, students should be able to adapt their knowledge and techniques to solve other similar application problems. Whatever applications are chosen, the emphasis is on using the integral of a rate of change to give accumulated change or using the method of setting up an approximating Riemann sum and representing its limit as a definite integral. To provide a common foundation, specific applications should include finding the area of a region, the volume of a solid with known cross sections, the average value of a function, and the distance traveled by a particle along a line.
