Difference of cubes (a^2 - b^3)
(a-b) (a^2 + ab +b^2)
Perpendicular slope
Negative reciprocal i.e.) a/d becomes -b/a
First principals method equation
Lim. [f(x+h) - f(x)]
h->0 ——————
h
Instantaneous velocity equation
Same as first principals:
V(t) =lim. [f(t+h) - f(t)]
h->0 ——————
h
Average velocity equation
=lim. [f(t2) - f(t1)]
t2->t1. ——————
t2-t1
Rule #1 of infinite sequences
Lim. [1/n]. =0
N->infinity
Rule #2 of infinite sequences (the forgotten rule)
Lim as n approaches infinity (r^n) =0 if |r| is smaller than 1
Equation for infinite series
Sn=a(r^n-1) ——— r-1 Where A= first term R= common ratio N= number of terms Sn= sum of 'N' terms
UDATED FORMULA FOR INFINITE SERIES THAT WE USE
Sinfinity = a/(1-r)
Where a= first term
r= common ratio
Infinite series:
If |r| is smaller than 1:
If |r| is bigger than 1:
Smaller: will have a sum (convergent)
Bigger: won’t have have sum (divergent)
Sum of cubes (a^3 + b^3)
(a+b) (a^2 -ab+b^2)
Sketching a derivative graph
- max and min points become the x intercepts on the f’(x) graph
- determine whether the curves will have a positive or negative slope (going down towards point = negative therefore underneath the x axis and vice versa)
Implicit differentiation
When taking the derivative of y always multiply it by (dy/dx)
