1. A function y=f(x) is continuous at x=a if

i. f(a) exists
ii. exists, and
iii.
2. Even and odd functions
1. A function y = f(x) is even if f(-x) = f(x) for every x in the function's domain.
Every even function is symmetric about the y-axis.
2. A function y = f(x) is odd if f(-x) = −f(x) for every x in the function's domain.
Every odd function is symmetric about the origin.
3. Horizontal and vertical asymptotes
1. A line y = b is a horizontal asymptote of the graph of y = f(x) if either

or .
2. A line x =a is a vertical asymptote of the graph of y =f(x) if either
or .
4. Definition of a derivative
5. To find the maximum and minimum values of a function y = f(x), locate
1. . the points where f'(x) is zero or where f'(x) fails to exist

2. the end points, if any, on the domain of f(x).
Note: These are the only candidates for the value of x where f(x) may have
a maximum or a minimum
6. Let f be differentiable for a < x < b and continuous for a ≤ x ≤ b.

a. If f'(x) > 0 for every x in (a,b), then f is increasing on [a,b].
b. If f'(x) < 0 for every x in (a,b), then f is decreasing on [a,b].
7. Suppose that f''(x) exists on the interval (a,b).
a. If f''(x) > 0 in (a,b), then f is concave upward in (a,b).
b. If f''(x) < 0 in (a,b), then f is concave downward in (a,b).
To locate the points of inflection of y = f(x), find the points where f''(x) = 0
or where f''(x) fails to exist. These are the only candidates where f(x) may
have a point of inflection. Then test these points to make sure that f''(x) < 0
on one side and f''(x) > 0 on the other.
8. Mean value theorem
If f is continuous on [a,b] and differentiable on (a,b), then there is at least one

number c

9. Continuity
If a function is differentiable at a point x = a, it is continuous at that point. The

converse is false, i.e. continuity does not imply differentiability.
10. L'Hôpital's rule
If is of the form or , and if exists, then .
11. Area between curves
If f and g are continuous functions such that f(x) ≥ g(x) on [a,b], then the area
between
the curves is .
12. Inverse functions

a. If f and g are two functions such that f(g(x)) = x for every x in the domain of
g, and, g(f(x)) = x, for every x in the domain of f, then, f and g are inverse
functions of each other.
b. A function f has an inverse if and only if no horizontal line intersects its graph
more than once.
c. If f is either increasing or decreasing in an interval, then f has an inverse.
d. If f is differentiable at every point on an interval I, and f'(x) ≠ 0 on I, then g = f-

a. Let f be nonnegative and continuous on [a,b], and let R be the region
bounded above by y = f(x), below by the x-axis, and the sides by the lines x
= a and x = b.
b. When this region R is revolved about the x-axis, it generates a solid (having
circular cross sections) whose volume .
c. When R is revolved about the y-axis, it generates a solid whose volume

17. Particles moving along a line
a. If a particle moving along a straight line has a positive function x(t), then its
instantaneous velocity v(t) = x'(t) and its acceleration a(t) = v'(t).
b. v(t) = ∫ a(t)dt and x(t) = ∫ v(t)dt.
