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 |
