Calculus- Chapter 3

The Derivative in Graphing and Applications

QuestionAnswer
Increasing (dfn) f is increasing on (x1,x2), if f(x2)>f(x1) given x2>x1 -slope will always be (+)
Increasing (thm) Let f be differentiable on I, if the f'(x)>0, then f is increasing on I
Decreasing (dfn) f is decreasing on (x1,x2), if f(x1)>f(x2) given x2>x1 -slope will always be (-)
Decreasing (thm) Let f be differentiable on I, If f'(x)<0, then f is decreasing on I
Constant (dfn) f is constant on (x1,x2), if(x1)=f(x2) -slope will always be 0
Constant (thm) Let f be differentiable on I, If f'(x)=0, then f is constant on I
Concave up (thm Let f be twice differentiable on I, If f''(x)>0, then f is concave up on I
Concave down (thm) Let f be twice differentiable on I, If f''(x)<0, then f is concave down on I
Relative Maximum Let x0 Є I, if f(x0)≥f(x) -change from inc. to dec.
Relative Minimum Let x0 Є I, if f(x0)≤f(x) -change from dec. to inc.
First Derivative Test Find f'(x) Solve Number line -change from inc. to dec.=Rel Max -change from dec. to inc.=Rel Min
Second Derivative Test find f''(x) Solve -f'(x0)=0 and f''(x0)<0, then x0 is Rel Min (CD) -f'(x0)=0 and f''(x0)>0, then x0 has Rel Min (CU)
Graphing (steps) 1. Domain 2. Asymptotes/End Behavior -Limits -if Dom is (-∞,+∞), there is no VA 3. FDT- include Rel Max/Rel Min 4. "SDT" - CU/CD, IP 5. Intercepts and Symmetry -set x=0 and y=0
Inflection Point (dfn) if f changes the direction of its concavity at the point (x0,f(x0))
Absolute Maximum (dfn) Let x0 Є I, If f(x0)≥f(x) for ALL x Є I
Absolute Minimum (dfn) Let x0 Є I, If f(x0)≤f(x) for ALL x Є I
Relative Extrema (dfn) -Occurs in the NEIGHBORHOOD of a point -Not necessarily the highest or lowest on the curve
Absolute Extrema (thm) Let f be continuous on [a,b], then f has both an Abs Max and Abs Min on [a,b] -Might occur on endpoints or critical points
Rectilinear Motion -(Velocity function) Let s(t) be position function, then s'(t)=v(t) is velocity function
Rectilinear Motion -(Acceleration) Let s(t) be position function, then, s''(t)=v'(t)=a(t) is acceleration function
Rectilinear Motion -(Speed) Note: Velocity=Speed and Direction Speed=|v(t)| -no direction involved
Velocity -(inc with time) v(t)>0
Velocity -(dec with time) v(t)<0
Velocity -(Particle not moving) v(t)=0
Acceleration -(Particle speeding up) v(t) and a(t) have same signs
Acceleration -(Particle slowing down) v(t) and a(t) have different signs
Newtons Method Find R Guess x1 Use tangent line to find x2 us tangent line to find x3 (ect.)
Newtons Method -(Equation) xn+1= xn-(f(xn))/f'(xn)
Rolles Thm Let f be cont. on [a,b] and diff on (a,b), If f(a)=0 and f(b)=0, then there exists at least one c Є (a,b), So that f'(c)=0 Conclusion: f'(c)=0 for c Є (a,b)
Mean-Value Thm Let f be cont. on [a,b] and diff on (a,b) Then there exists at least one c Є (a,b) Such that f'(c)=(f(b)-f(a))/b-a

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
