What's inside

Syllabus

Concebimos un movimiento diferente

Hablaremos del Modelo Cúbico construido a partir del Modelo Cuadrático. Retomaremos la situación real de movimiento en línea recta creando un movimiento en el que no hay cambio de sentido. Transitaremos al contexto real de llenado de tanques para dar significado a la función cúbica y a su derivada.

Ecuaciones y funciones cúbicas

Retomaremos el contexto real del movimiento en línea recta para activar procesos algebraicos relacionados con la interpretación gráfica del movimiento. Consideraremos diferentes casos de ecuaciones cúbicas en las que podremos calcular sus soluciones con procedimientos algebraicos sencillos.

La derivada cuadrática y la función cúbica

Hablaremos del contexto de llenado de tanques para apreciar las diferentes características gráficas que puede tener una función cúbica. Haremos énfasis en la obtención de la derivada y la antiderivada como procesos algebraicos. Utilizaremos la derivada para identificar máximos, mínimos y puntos de inflexión.

Aplicaciones con cúbicas

Hablaremos de la aplicación conocida como la optimización de funciones considerando el Modelo Cúbico. Con ayuda de la tecnología, interpretaremos el efecto gráfico que se refleja al introducir un parámetro en la representación algebraica de ciertas funciones cúbicas.
