A

Of the SAME LINE

29
Q

tangent definition

A

Gradient at one point on a curve
When b^2 - 4ac = 0
Point which only touches at one point

30
Q

Normal defintion

A

Line 90 degrees to tangent at one point

31
Q

r^2 =

A

(x-a) + (y-b) with centre (a,b)

32
Q

Define circumcircle

A

unique circle around 3 vertices of a triangle

33
Q

Why is a = 1 not an exponential graph

A

Because 1^x is always 1

34
Q

a^x = b

A

loga b = x

35
Q

loga (a^x) =

A

x

36
Q

a ^ (loga x) =

A

x

37

A

2.71819

38
Q

differentiate e^kx

A

ke^kx

39
Q

Exponential decay

A

Ae^kx

40
Q

Exponential decay

A

Ae^-kx

41
Q

Differentiate e^-kx

A

-ke^kx

42
Q

loga 1 =

A

0

43
Q

log a (1/x) =

A
  • loga x
44
Q

log (x + y) =

A

CAN’T BE SIMPLIFIED

45
Q

y = (exponential graph)

A

A (coefficient of e)

46
Q

Make linear graph with logs

A

Logs of both sides
Separate RHS
constant is gradient
Variables are axis

47
Q

loga y = kx + loga b (what on axis)

A

y = loga y
x = loga b
gradient = k

48
Q

Derivation from first principles

A

lim h-> 0 f(x + h) - f(x) / h

49
Q

As h -> 0 …

A

nh -> 0 and nh^2 -> 0

50
Q

Find equation on normal at point (x,y)

A

dy/dx to find tangent
x -1/grad is gradient
Solve y=mx+c

51
Q

A

NOT

52
Q

Is interval[] strict or not

A

STRICT

53
Q

find if maximum or minimum

A

d2y / dx2 using value for x
If n > 0 then MINIMUM
If n < 0 then MAXIMUM
If n = 0 then point of INFLECTION/ MAX/ MIN (use table)

54
Q

Define dV / dr

A

rate of change in volume WRT radius

55
Q

|a| =

A

sqrt( Δx^2 + Δy^2 + Δz^2)
