• COMMENTS ON CH.4 NOTES

• Sometimes, it helps to leave f or f ' in factored form before differentiating; you would use the Product Rule.

• On page 6 of the 4.4/4.5 notes, there's a missing "3" exponent in a denominator near the bottom.

• On all three methods on 4.6 Notes, Page 3, you should note that f is continuous on [0,15].
