Quiz 2 Flashcards
(7 cards)
1
Q
Average speed
A
distance travelled / time taken
s(Tf) - s(T0) / tf - t0
f - end speed or time
0 - start speed or time
2
Q
Derivative equation
A
f’(x) = lim [ f(x+h) - f(x) ] / h
3
Q
3.1 derivatives
A
Find a common denominator and simplify
4
Q
Finding the derivative at a point
A
- find the derivative of the function (m)
- find the value of the y-coordinate by plugging the x-coordinate into the original function
- substitute x and y coordinates and m into formula y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
5
Q
Differentiation rules
A
- constant rule
k’ = 0 , derivative of a constant is zero - power rule
xⁿ is nxⁿ⁻¹ - sum rule
( f(x) + g(x) )’ = f’(x) + g’(x) - constant multiple rule
( k f(x) )’ = k f(x)’ - higher order derivatives
derivative of derivatives - f(x)’ 2nd order f”(x) 3rd order etc..
6
Q
Product differentiation rule
A
( f(x) * g(x) )’ = f’(x)g(x) + f(x)g’(x)
7
Q
Quotient differentiation rule
A
[ f’(x)g(x) - f(x)g’(x) ] / g(x)²
