This free modeling and optimization worksheet helps AP Calculus AB students use derivatives to find maximum and minimum values in real-world problems. The 12-page printable PDF includes a step-by-step strategy and clear diagrams.
Students solve number problems, fencing problems, the open-box problem, can design, inscribed rectangles, closest-point problems, economics problems on profit and average cost, and minimizing travel time. A section on justifying answers with the First Derivative, Second Derivative and Candidates Tests, plus an AP-style problem, mixed review and challenge questions, make it ideal for Unit 5 classwork, homework or AP exam review.
