Extreme Value Theorem
If f is continuous on a closed interval [a,b], then f attains an absolute maximum value f(c) and an absolute minimum value f(d) at some number c,d in [a,b]
Rolle’s Theorem
Let f be a function satisfying that f is continuous on [a,b] , f is differentiable (a,b), and f(a) = f(b)
Then, there is a number c in (a,b) such that f’(c) = 0
Mean Value Theorem
Let f be a function that is continuous on [a,b] and differentiable on (a,b)
Then, there is a number c in (a,b) such that
f’(c) = (f(b)-f(a)) / b-a
Riemann Sum Definition
For a function f defined on the interval [a,b] the definite integral of f from a to b is the number
integral from a to b f(x) = limit as max Δxi approaches 0 sum of n (top) i=1 f(xi)Δ xi
provided this limit exists. If it does, we say f is integratabtle on [a,b]
What is absolute/global maximum
An Absolute Maximum is a value f(c)≥ f(x) for all “x” in the domain
What is relative or local maximum
A Local Maximum is a value f(c)≥ f(x) near “c” in the domain
What is absolute/global minimum
An Absolute Minimum is a value f(c)≤f(x) for all “x” in the domain
What is relative or local minimum
A Local Maximum is a value f(c)≤f(x) near “c” in the domain
what is a critical number
a critical number of a function f is a number c in the domain such that either f’(c) = 0 or f’(c) = DNE
what does it mean when c is a critical number of f
there is a potential minimum or maximum at c
Intermediate Value Theorem
Let a function, f(x) that is continuous on a closed interval [a, b], and L is any value between f(a) and f(b).
Then, there exists a value c within the interval such that f(c) = L.
