calculus equations Flashcards
1
Q
tangent line
A
f (x) = (x, y)
f ‘(x) = m
y₂ - y = m(x₂-x)
2
Q
normal line
A
f (x) = (x, y)
f ‘(x) = m
y₂ - y = (-1/m)(x₂-x)
3
Q
concavity values
A
concave up ⟹ f ‘‘(x) < 0 (negative)
concave down ⟹ f ‘‘(x) > 0 (positive)
4
Q
inflection points
A
f ‘‘(x) = 0
5
Q
stationary points
A
minimum/maximum
f ‘(x) = 0
6
Q
how to do first derivative test
A
+/- +/-
|————-|————-|
f ‘(x₁) x f ‘(x₂)
7
Q
how to classify from first derivative test
A
⋂ shaped (+y) with + = left and - = right ⟹ positive
⋃ shaped (-y) with - = left and + = right ⟹ negative
