f’(x)=sin(x)+cos(x) and g’(x)=sin(x)+cos(x) then
the equation of the tangent line at x will be the same for f(x) and g(x)
the expression f(6+h)-f(6)/h represents
The slope of the secant line through the graph of a function
through two points, (a,f(a)) and (a+h, f(a+h))
the expression lim/h->0 f(6+h)-f(6)/h represents
the slope of the tangent line to the graph of the function at x=a
The function f(x)=x|x|
is continuous at x=0
is differentiable at x=0
Absolute extrema can only occur at:
Critical points and end points.
The derivative of position is…
velocity
the derivative of velocity is…
acceleration
the second derivative of position is…
acceleration
The IROC can be represented graphically as…
the SLOPE of the tangent line
The AROC can be represented graphically as…
the SLOPE of the secant line

DNE
When is a function not differentiable
corner, cusp, vertical tangent line, discontinuity
Differentiability implies…
continuity, but not the other way around
if f’(x) is positive then f(x) is…
increasing (positive slope)
if f’(x) is negative then f(x) is…
decreasing (negative slope)
if f’(a) = 0
- zero slope (function is just chillin)
- The function isn’t increasing or decreasing.
