a line that touches a curve at a point, matching the curve’s slope there
Tangent
If the slope of the tangent line is POSITIVE, the function is?
increasing at the point
If the slope of the tangent line is NEGATIVE, the function is?
decreasing at the point
It is the instantaneous rate
of change of a function at a given point.
derivative
The derivative of a function at a given value is the?
slope of the
line tangent to the function at that value.
*A function f(x) is differentiable at x = c, then?
function
f(x) is continuous at x = c
*If a function f(x) is not differentiable at x = c, then?
it may or may not be continuous at x = c
*If the function f x is continuous at x = c, then?
it need
not be differentiable at x = c
*If the function f(x) is discontinuous at x = c, then?
it is not differentiable at x = c
T or F: differentiability implies continuity
