Basic Concept of Calculus Flashcards
If a slope of a function/graph is downhill what sign would you use?
Negative
If a slope of a function/graph steeps uphill what sign would you use?
Positive
A concept of endless continuous integers, an is not considered a number
Infinity
How will you find an area of any shape?
By using an infinitely small sets of columns
What goes to zero, but will never be absolute zero?
1/infinity or 1 over infinity
How do you calculate a curve slope of a function?
By using 1 over infinity to seek the straight line
This helps you evaluate a function, when it approaches a certain value
Limits
This helps you find the slope of a function
Derivatives
dy/dx f(x) is equal to?
f’(x)
f prime of x
This helps you on finding the area under a curve
Integral or Integration
What is the opposite of integration?
Derivatives
“Think of it as finding the anti-derivatives”
What part of calculus do we exactly seek the anti-derivative?
Integration
