Review for Final exam

December 28, 2017


Max-Min values
Concepts:
• Critical point
• Local max/min
• Absolute (global) max/min
Know how to find max/min on closed
interval
Optimization

• Word problem: READ CAREFULLY


• Ask for words that you don’t know
• Write down target function, variables,
condition
• Find max/min
Graph sketching
• First derivative: increasing/decreasing
intervals
• Second derivative: Concave up/down,
inflection point
• Vertical asymptotes: points where
lim = ∞
• Horizontal asymptotes: lim f (x)
x→∞
Newton method
• for solving f (x) = 0
• Start with x = x0
• Keep calculate
f (xn−1)
xn = xn−1 −
f 0(xn−1)

• Stop when |xn − xn−1| <the desired


error
L’Hospital rule
0 ∞
• Only apply for or
0 ∞
1
• 0.∞ use u =
1/u
• ∞ − ∞ find common denominator
• 1∞, 0∞, ∞0 use ln to convert to 0.∞
Riemann Sum
• Divide [a, b] into n parts
b−a
• Length ∆x =
n
• End points a = x0, x1, . . . , xn = b
• Choose xi∗ from [xi−1, xi]
n
X
• S = ∆x f (xi∗)
i=1
FTC
• Part 1:
Z x
d
f (t)dt = f (x)
dx a

• remember that x needs to be upper


limit
• Use with chain rule
d g(x)
Z
f (t)dt = f (g(x))g0(x)
dx a
