Study Notes
Branches of Calculus
- Differential Calculus: deals with the study of rates of change and slopes of curves
- Integral Calculus: deals with the study of accumulation of quantities
Key Concepts
- Limits: the behavior of a function as the input (or x-value) approaches a specific value
- Derivatives: measure of how a function changes as its input changes
- Integrals: measure of the accumulation of a function over a given interval
Derivatives
-
Rules of Differentiation:
- Power Rule: if f(x) = x^n, then f'(x) = nx^(n-1)
- Product Rule: if f(x) = u(x)v(x), then f'(x) = u'(x)v(x) + u(x)v'(x)
- Chain Rule: if f(x) = g(h(x)), then f'(x) = g'(h(x)) * h'(x)
-
Applications of Derivatives:
- Finding Maximum and Minimum Values
- Determining the Rate at which a Quantity Changes
Integrals
-
Types of Integrals:
- Definite Integrals: have a specific upper and lower bound
- Indefinite Integrals: do not have specific bounds
-
Rules of Integration:
- Substitution Method
- Integration by Parts
- Integration by Partial Fractions
-
Applications of Integrals:
- Finding the Area Between Curves
- Finding the Volume of Solids
Theorems and Properties
- Fundamental Theorem of Calculus: relates the derivative of an antiderivative to the original function
- Mean Value Theorem: states that a function must have at least one critical point in a given interval
- Intermediate Value Theorem: states that a continuous function must take on all values between its minimum and maximum values
