Inverse of a function
The inverse of f(x) is equal to g(x) such that f(g(x) = x. Note that a function only has an inverse when it passes the horizontal line test (one input for every output)
Limit
In order for a limit to exist, the left and right side limits must be equal
Limit law exception with lim f(x)/g(x)
g(x) must not be equal to 0
Vertical Asymptote
at x=a when left, right or regular limit approaches +/- infinity
Removable Discontinuity
Can be removed by changing one singular point
Jump Discontinuity
lim left does not equal limit right and not infinity
Squeeze Theorem
if g(x) lies between two functions f(x) & h(x) and their limits are equal then g(x) has that same limit
Continuity
f(a) must exist, lim f(x) as x->a must exist, and f(a) = lim f(x)
IVT
if f is cont on a,b and L is any # between f(a) and f(b) there must be some number c s.t a<c<b
Derivative
instantaneous rate of change
