Study Notes
Extreme Value Theorem
- The theorem applies to continuous functions and closed intervals.
- It states that a function that is continuous on a closed interval [a, b] will have an absolute maximum and an absolute minimum value on that interval.
### Local Extremum Values
- Local maximum or minimum values occur at critical points or endpoints of the interval.
Critical Points
- A critical point is a point where the derivative of the function is zero or undefined.
- Critical points can indicate potential local maximum or minimum values.
Rolle’s Theorem
- The theorem states that if f is continuous on [a, b] and differentiable on (a, b), and if f(a) = f(b), then there is at least one c in (a, b) such that f'(c) = 0.
Mean Value Theorem
- The theorem states that if f is continuous on [a, b] and differentiable on (a, b), then there is at least one c in (a, b) such that f'(c) = (f(b) - f(a)) / (b - a).
### Concavity
- Concavity describes the shape of a function's graph.
- Concave down: The graph of the function bends downward.
- Concave up: The graph of the function bends upward.
- Concavity changes at inflection points.
Newton’s Method
- Newton's method is an iterative algorithm to find the roots of a function.
- It uses the tangent line approximation to get closer to the root in each iteration.
Area Between the Curves
- To find the area between two curves, integrate the difference of the upper and lower functions over the interval.
- The area is always positive.
Extreme Value Theorem
- The Extreme Value Theorem states that a continuous function on a closed interval will attain both a maximum and a minimum value within that interval.
- Dropping the continuity condition from the theorem will lead to a function not necessarily attaining a maximum or minimum value, even on a closed interval.
Local Extremum Values
- Local maxima or minima are the points where the function's value is greater or smaller than its surrounding values, respectively, within a specific interval.
- Finding all local maxima (or minima) will automatically encompass the absolute maximum (or minimum) if it exists.
- The First Derivative Test helps identify local maximum and minimum points.
Critical Points
- Critical points refer to the points where the derivative of a function is either zero or undefined.
- These points are potential locations of extreme values (local maxima, minima, or saddle points).
Rolle’s Theorem
- Rolle's Theorem states that if a function is continuous and differentiable on a closed interval and has equal values at the endpoints of the interval, there exists at least one point within the interval where the derivative of the function is zero.
Mean Value Theorem
- The Mean Value Theorem states that for a continuous and differentiable function on a closed interval, there exists at least one point within the interval where the slope of the tangent line is equal to the average slope of the function over the entire interval.
Concavity
- Concavity refers to the curvature of a function's graph.
- A concave-down function has a negative second derivative, while a concave-up function has a positive second derivative.
Newton’s Method
- Newton's Method is an iterative process used to approximate the roots (solutions) of an equation.
- The method involves starting with an initial guess and then repeatedly improving the guess using the function's derivative.
When does the Newton-Raphson method fail?
- The Newton-Raphson method can fail to converge to a root for various reasons:
- The initial guess might be too far away from the actual root.
- The derivative of the function might be zero or undefined at the given point.
- The function might not have a root in the vicinity of the initial guess.
Area Between the Curves
- The area between two curves can be calculated by integrating the difference between the two functions over the specified interval.
- The formula for the area between curves is: ∫[a, b] (f(x) - g(x)) dx where f(x) ≥ g(x) on the interval [a, b].
