AP Calculus Unit 2
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Derivative | instantaneous rate of change / slope of the tangent line |
| when g'(x) > 0... | g(x) is increasing |
| when g(x) is increasing... | g'(x) > 0 |
| when g'(x) < 0... | g(x) is decreasing |
| when g(x) is decreasing... | g'(x) < 0 |
| when g(x) has an extrema... | g'(x) = 0 |
| when g'(x) = 0... | g(x) has an extreme |
| Power Rule | 1) multiply LC of term by exponent -- 2) sutbract 1 from the exponent |
| Derivative Of Sine Is... | cosine |
| Derivative Of Cosine Is... | -sine |
| Root To Exponent | inside / outside |
| Horizontal Tangent | f'(x) = 0 -- slope of tangent line is 0 |
| Critical Values Give Us... | possible relative extrema |
| How To Create Sign Graph | 1) find derivative of equation -- 2) set equation equal to zero to get critical values -- 3) put critical values on graph -- 4) plug in number in each interval to find pos or neg value |
| Maximum Of g(x) Occurs When... | g'(x) goes from + to - |
| Minimum Of g(x) Occurs When | g'(x) goes from - to + |
| When Using Trig On Sign Graphs | identify where values will be positive or negative using unit circle |
| Tangent Line Equation | y1-y2 = m (x1-x2) |
| To Make A Tangent Line Equation, You Need... | a point & a slope |
| A Double Root Indicates... | the sign does not change |
| Horizontal Tangent Is The Same As Saying... | Critical Values |
| Only Plug Into The Original Equation To Find... | a y value |
| How To Calculate Slope | y1-y2 / x1-x2 |
| Normal Line (didn’t review) | line perpendicular to the tangent line at the point of tangency |
