Ch. 8 Sec1,7 Goofy Stuff Flashcards
What happens if you get Infiniti times zero
You have to manipulate the limit to make it zero over zero or Infiniti over Infiniti
What should you always do first when it comes to L’Hopital’s Rule
Direct substitution to show it is zero over zero or Infiniti over Infiniti
Lim as x approaches zero of sinx over x
1
Limit as x approaches zero of 1 minus cosx over x
0
What are the old ways to solve an integral of a limit
Expand the numerator Separate the numerator Complete the square Divide improper rational function Add and subtract terms in numerator Use trig identities MULTIPLY AND DIVIDE BY PYTHAGOREAN CONJUGATE
What is the symmetric difference quotient
Difference between y values on both sides of desired y value
Over
Difference between x values on both sides of the given x value
When should you use symmetric difference quotient
When you are asked to estimate a value of f’(given x value) when given the c and y coordinates of f(x)
Same would apply if asked to find f’‘(x) and given f’(x)
What is the average rate of change
Slope of secant line
If asked to estimate f’(4) and then later asked at what rate is y changing with respect to x at the point where x=4…..
Same question-> same answer
Would draw a tangent line to that point and then find the slope using estimated point values
