Chain Rule

• Take derivative of outside of parenthesis

• Take derivative of inside parenthesis and keep the original of what was in the parenthesis

• For example, sin(x²+1)→ 2xcos(x²+1)

Product Rule

d/dx first times second + first times d/dx second

Quotient Rule

LoDHi-HiDLo/LoLo

Fundamental Theorem of Calculus

• ∫(a to b) f(x) dx = F(b) - F(a)

• Basically saying that F’(x)=f(x)

f relative max→f ‘ goes from

Positive to negative

f relative min→f ‘ goes from

Negative to positive

Intermediate Value Theorem

If I pick an X value that is included on a continuous function, I will get a Y value, within a certain range, to go with it.

Mean Value Theorem

If function is continuous on [a,b] and first derivative exist on interval (a,b), then there is at least one number (c) such that f’(c)=f(b)-f(a)/b-a

Rolle’s Theorem with Mean Value Theorem

If function is continuous on [a,b] and first derivative exist on interval (a,b), and f(a)=f(b) then there is at least one number x=c such that f’(c)=0

Trapezoidal Rule

The average of left hand point method and right hand point method

Theorem of mean value and average value

1/b-a ∫f(x)dx which is the average value

Disk Method

V=π∫[R(x)]²dx

Washer Method

π∫(R(x))²-(r(x))²dx

General volume equation

V=∫area(x)dx

-If no shape is given, then you just take the integral of the function

Double Argument

sin2x=2sinxcosx

cos2x=cos²x-sin²x=1-2sin²x

cos²x=1/2(1+cos2x)

sin²x=1/2(1-cos2x)

Pythagorean Identity

sin²x+cos²x=1

L’Hopital Rule

If limit equals 0/0 or ∞/∞, then you can take the derivative
