Sections 4.4, 4.5, 4.7, 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.6
Concavity:
Refers to the way the graph bends.
Concave Up:
F’ is increasing, F’’ is positive.
Concave Down:
F’ is decreasing, F’’ is negative.
Points of Inflection:
The concavity changes from up to down or vice versa.
F’’ is 0 or undefined.
If F’’ goes from positive to negative:
F’ has a local max.
If F’’ goes from negative to positive:
F’ has a local min.
F’’ > 0 then,
F is a local min.
F’’ < 0 then,
F is a local max.
L’Hopital’s Rule:
If f(x)/g(x) has an indeterminate form, we can replace it with f’(x)/g’(x).
Growth of e^x:
as lim x->infinity:
e^x/x^n = infinity.
Delta X:
(b-a)/N
b - right endpoint of interval
a - left endpoint of interval
N - number of intervals.
Right Point Approximation:
Delta X [j=1; N, f(xj)]
Left Point Approximation:
Delta X [j=0; N-1, f(xj)]
Mid Point Approximation:
Delta X [j=0; N-1, {(xj+xj+1)/2}]
Riemann Sums:
The rectangles do not need to have equal width, f(x) can have any real value, and the height can be any value of f(x) within the subinterval.
Riemann Sums - P, N, and C
P - partition
N - choice of points that divides it into N subintervals.
C - sample points.
||P|| (Riemann Sums)
The maximum of the lengths of delta X.
The Definite Integral and Signed Area:
Allowing the possibility that f(x) takes on both positive and negative values, we define the notion of the area below the x-axis as providing a negative contribution.
Reversing the Limits of Integration:
If the limits are opposite, you can reverse them and make everything negative.
Power Rule for Integrals:
[x^(n+1)] / (x+1)
Antiderivative of (dx / x):
ln |x| + C
Sum and Constant Rules of Antiderivatives:
Apply the same as with derivatives.
Antiderivative of e^x:
e^x + C
Antiderivative of e^kx:
(1 / k) * e^(kx) + C
Fundamental Theorem of Calculus Part 1:
For the antiderivative of f(x) from a to b, the answer to the problem is:
F(b) - F(a)
The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus Part 2:
Demonstrates how definite integration and differentiation are inverse processes.
Net Change as the Integral of a Rate of Change:
The integral of velocity is equal to the net change in position.
The distance traveled would be the absolute value.
