All of Chapter 4 - Applications of the Derivative

Chapter 4 is about using derivatives to solve problems. Some are fun, some may be difficult, many will seem artificial but all of them are good for you. You may notice that there are no quizzes posted though this is a month long chapter. They could happen at any time. Curve sketching, optimization and related rates make excellent one question quiz topics. Be ready.
