Maxima and minima

Maximum and Minima of Points of Inflection. The value f ‘(x) is the gradient at any point but often we want to find the Turning or Stationary Point (Maximum and Minimum points) or Point of Inflection These happen where the gradient is zero, f ‘(x) = 0. Critical Points include Turning points and Points where f ‘ (x) does not exist. […]

Rules of derivative

Rules for derivatives. Rules for derivatives. Sum rule: The derivative of the sum or difference of two functions is the sum or difference of their derivatives. (u + v)’ = u’ + v’ Constant multiple: The derivative of a constant times a function is the constant times the derivative of the function. (ku)’ = ku’ Rules for derivative

Volume of revolution of solid

Volume of revolution. To get a solid of revolution we start out with a function, y=f (x), on an interval [a,b]. We then rotate this curve about a given axis to get the surface of the solid of revolution. For purposes of this discussion let’s rotate the curve about the x -axis, although it could be any vertical […]

Volume of revolution of solid

Volume with Rings. To get a solid of revolution we start out with a function, y=f (x), on an interval [a,b]. We then rotate this curve about a given axis to get the surface of the solid of revolution. For purposes of this discussion let’s rotate the curve about the x -axis, although it could be any vertical or […]

St. Line Graph

Straight line graphs. The graph of each of  equations is a straight line: If an equation can be rearranged into the form y = mx +c, then its graph will be a straight line. ax +by= c  can be rearranged as (which can be re-written as  y = mx+c). Therefore vertical lines have equations have slope undefined form x =k . Hence graph depend on […]
