Analysis with Calc Flashcards
What is the Domain and Range of a function?
The Domain is the set of all possible input x-values of the function
The Range is the set of all possible output y-values of the function.
What is the Vertical Line test?
A function f can only have one value f(x) for each x in its domain, so no vertical line can intersect the graph more than once.
Increasing Function
If f(x2) > f(x1) where x2 > x1
Decreasing Function
If f(x2) < f(x1) where x2 > x1
Even Function
f(x) = f(-x)
Odd Function
f(-x) = -f(x)
How to work out the Horizontal asymptotes?
Work out the lim of the function as it tends to infinity and -infinity
How to work out the Vertical asymptotes?
Where the denominator is undefined
What is the continuity test?
A function f(x) is continuous at a point x=c iff it meets the following conditions:
- f(c) exists
- lim x->c f(x) exists
- lim x->c f(x) = f(c)
What is the Intermediate Value Theorem?
If f is a continuous function on a closed interval [a,b], and if yo is any value between f(a) and f(b), then yo = f(c) for some c in [a,b]
What is the Sandwich Theorem?
Suppose g(x) <= f(x) <= h(x) for all x in some open interval containingc.
Suppose also that lim g(x) = lim h(x) = L
then lim f(x) = L
What is the derivative of a function f at a point x0?
lim f(x0 + h) - f(x0)
h->0 h
provided the limit exists
When is a function differentiable?
When it has a derivative at each point of the interbal. and if the left and right hand exist at the endpoints.
Does a differentiable function have to be continuous?
Yes, If f has a derivative at x=c, then f is continuous at x=c

What is the equation for linearization?

is the linearization of f at a
When does a function have an absolute maximum?
f has an absolute maximum value at a point c if
f(x)<= f(c) for all x a closed interva
When does a function have an absolute minimum?
f has an absolute minimum value at a point c if
f(x)>= f(c) for all x in a closed interval
Extreme Value Theorem
If f is continuous on a closed interval [a,b], then f attains both an absolute maximum value M and an absolute minimum value m.
When does a function have a local maximum?
A function ƒ has a local maximum value at a point c if ƒ(x) <= ƒ(c) for all x∊D lying in some open interval containing c
When does a function have a local minimum?
A function ƒ has a local minimum value at a point c within its
domain D if ƒ(x) >= ƒ(c) for all x∊D lying in some open interval containing c
The First Derivative Theorem for Local Extreme Values
If ƒ has a local maximum or minimum value at an interior point c of its domain,
and if ƒ′ is defined at c, then
f’(c) = 0
What is a critical point of f?
An interior point of the domain of a function ƒ where ƒ′ is zero
or undefined is a critical point of ƒ
How to find the Absolute Extrema?
- Find all the critical points of f on the interval
- Evaluate f at all critical points and endpoints
- Take the largest and smallest of these values
Rolle’s Theorem
Suppose that y =ƒ(x) is continuous over the closed interval [a, b] and differentiable at every point of its interior (a, b). If ƒ(a) =ƒ(b), then there is at least one number c in (a, b) at which ƒ′(c) =0
The Mean Value Theorem
Suppose y =ƒ(x) is continuous over a closed interval [a, b] and differentiable on the interval’s interior (a, b). Then there is at least one point c in (a, b) at which
f(b) - f(a) = f’(c)
b - a
First Derivative Test for Local Extrema
Suppose that c is a critical point of a continuous function ƒ
1.if ƒ′ changes from negative to positive at c, then ƒ has a local minimum at c;
2.if ƒ′ changes from positive to negative at c, then ƒ has a local maximum at c;
3.if ƒ′ does not change sign at c (that is, ƒ′ is positive on both sides of c or nega-tive on both sides), then ƒ has no local extremum at c
When is a function concave up?
When f’ is increasing on I
When is a function concave down?
When f’ is decreasing on I
Second Derivative Test for Local Extrema
- If f’(c) = 0 and f’‘(c) < 0, then f has a local maximum at x = c.
- If f’(c) = 0 and f’‘(c) > 0, then f has a local minimum at x = c.
- If f’(c) = 0 and f’‘(c) = 0, then the test fails. The function f may have a local maximum, a local minimum or neither.
What is an antiderivative
A function F is an antiderivative of f on an interval I if f’(x) = f(x) for all x in I

Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, Part 1
If ƒ is continuous on [a, b], then F(x) = integral ƒ(t) dt is continuous on [a, b] and differentiable on (a, b) and its derivative is ƒ(x):
F’(x) = d/dx integral f(t)dt = f(x)
Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, Part 2
If f is continuous over [a.b] and F is any antiderivative of f on [a,b], then
integral f(x) dx = F(b) - F(a)
How to find the area between the graph of y=f(x) and the x-axis
- Subdivide [a,b] at the zeros of f
- Integrate f over each subinterval
- Add the absolute values of the integrals
