l"Hospital's Rule (for when the limit is indeterminate)
lim x->a (f(x)/g(x)) = lim x->a (f'(x)/g'(x))
average rate of change (over interval [a,b])
(f(b)-f(a))/b-a
instantaneous rate of change
if (a, f(a)) is a point on the graph of y=f(x), then the instantaneous rate of change of y with respect to x is f'(a)
extreme value theorem
If f is continuous over a closed interval, then f has a maximum and minimum value over the interval
(mean value theorem for derivatives) If f(x) is continuous in [a,b] and differentiable in (a,b) then...
at some point c in (a,b), f'(c) = (f(b)-f(a))/b-a
(first derivative test) If f'(x) > 0 for every x in (a,b) then...
f(x) is increasing on [a,b]
(first derivative test) If f'(x) < 0 for every x in (a,b) then...
f(x) is decreasing on [a,b]
(first derivative test) If f'(c) changes sign through x = c then...
f has a local maximum/minimum at x=c
(second derivative extremum test) If f'(c) = 0 and f''(c) > 0 then...
f(c) is a local minimum
