This week we learned how to find the derivative of more complex functions and the antiderivative. I found it to be fairly easy, sometimes it was scary to look at but once you break down the problem it's not too bad. The hardest part for me at first was when we switched to antiderivatives. I obviously remembered how to find the antiderivative but it took some practice before I was able to do it quickly again. The other thing I struggled with was figuring out what the u value would be. Once I understood the chain rule better and realized it was the inside of the composite function then it helped me be able to solve the questions. On the quiz I messed up by forgetting a negative when I was finding the derivative of sec(x) :((. The derivative of sec(x) was given to us in our notes but I forgot to put a few of those on my cardstock paper which would have made that question a piece of cake. I think I did pretty good on the rest of the quiz, I felt confident about it and was able to finish it pretty quickly and look over my answers (and I still missed my negative mistake). Cresswell said that each question was worth multiple points so hopefully me missing that question doesn't result in a 75%.
