chapters 2-3 Flashcards
What is the precise definition of a limit?
Let f(x) be defined on an open interval about c, except possibly at c itself. We say that limit of f(x) as x approaches c is the number l, and write
lim f(x) = L
X->C, If for ever number £>0, there exists a corresponding number d>0 such that
| f(x) -L | < £ whenever 0< | x-c | < d.
(A+b)2 equals?
A2+ 2ab + b2
how to find Q ??
(X+h, sub x+h into the given equation)
How to find tangent line?
Point slope form.
Y-y1= m(x-x1)
Lim SINfeta equals?
0
Lim COS feta equals?
1
SINfeta/feta equals?
1
The definition of a slope of a curve
If there is a tangent line to the curve at P, a line that grazes the curve like the tangent to a circle, it would be reasonable to identify that slope of a tangent line as the slope of a curve at P.
How to find the vertical asymptote?
See the denominator to 0, then solve
Horizontal asymptotes
Greatest coefficient is the same
(A-b)(a+b) equals ??
A2-b2
What is the average rate of change formula?
F(x1+h) - f(x1)

How to find the slope of a curve at a point?
Find Q.
This will give you your secant slope
Then you use point slope formula to find the tangent line equation
