Analysis with Calc Flashcards
What is the Domain and Range of a function?
The Domain is the set of all possible input x-values of the function
The Range is the set of all possible output y-values of the function.
What is the Vertical Line test?
A function f can only have one value f(x) for each x in its domain, so no vertical line can intersect the graph more than once.
Increasing Function
If f(x2) > f(x1) where x2 > x1
Decreasing Function
If f(x2) < f(x1) where x2 > x1
Even Function
f(x) = f(-x)
Odd Function
f(-x) = -f(x)
How to work out the Horizontal asymptotes?
Work out the lim of the function as it tends to infinity and -infinity
How to work out the Vertical asymptotes?
Where the denominator is undefined
What is the continuity test?
A function f(x) is continuous at a point x=c iff it meets the following conditions:
- f(c) exists
- lim x->c f(x) exists
- lim x->c f(x) = f(c)
What is the Intermediate Value Theorem?
If f is a continuous function on a closed interval [a,b], and if yo is any value between f(a) and f(b), then yo = f(c) for some c in [a,b]
What is the Sandwich Theorem?
Suppose g(x) <= f(x) <= h(x) for all x in some open interval containingc.
Suppose also that lim g(x) = lim h(x) = L
then lim f(x) = L
What is the derivative of a function f at a point x0?
lim f(x0 + h) - f(x0)
h->0 h
provided the limit exists
When is a function differentiable?
When it has a derivative at each point of the interbal. and if the left and right hand exist at the endpoints.
Does a differentiable function have to be continuous?
Yes, If f has a derivative at x=c, then f is continuous at x=c
