  1. Lim F(x) = L
    x-->a




    • We say "the limit of F(x), as "x" approaches "a", equals "L".
    • If we can make the values of F(x) arbitrarily close to "L" (as close to "L" as we like) by taking "x" to be sufficiently vlose to "a" ( on either side of "a") but not equal to "a".

    (page 88)
  2. Function
    A function "F" is a rule that assigns to each element "x" in a set "D" exactly one element, called F(x), in a set "E".
  3. Increasing
    F(x1) < F(x2) whenever x1 < x2 in I.

    (page 20)
  4. Decreasing
    F(x1) > F(x2) whenever F(x1) > F(x2) in I.

  21. Chain Rule
    • If "g" is differentiable at "x" and "f" is differentiable at g(x), then the composite function F=f • g defined by F(x) = f(g(x)) is differentiable at "x" and F ' is given by the product
    • F '(x) = f '(g(x)) • g '(x)
    • In Leibniz notation' if y = f(u) and u = g(x) are both differentiable functions, then
    • dy/dx = (dy/du)(du/dx)

    Page 197
  22. Power Rule combined with the Chain Rule
    If "n" is any real number and u = g(x) is differentiable, then

    • (d/dx)(un) = (nun-1)(du/dx)
    • Alternatively
    • (d/dx)(g(x))n = n(g(x))n-1 •g '(x)

  29. Absolute maximum
    • aka: global maximum
    • A function "F" has an absolute or global maximum at "c" if F(c) >_ F(x) for all x in D, where D is the domain of F. The number F(c) is called the Maximum Value of F on D. Also called an extreme value.
  30. Absalute Minimum
    F has an absalute minimum at "c" if F(c) <_F(x) for all x in D and the number F(c) is called Minimum Value of F on D. Also called an extreme value.
  31. Local Maximum
    A function F has a Local Maximum (or relitive maximum) at "c" if F(c) >_F(x) when x is near c. [This means that F(c) >_ F(x) for all x in some open interval containing c]. Similary, F has a Local Minimum at c if F(c) <_ F(x) when x is near c.
  32. Extreme Value Theorem
    If F is continuouse on a closed interval [a,b], then F attains an absolute maximum value F(c) and an absalute mimimum value F(d) at some numbers c and d in [a,b].
