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.
