1
New cards
chain rule
The ________ is an effective way of differentiating a composite function by first: differentiating the outer function with respect to the inner function, then multiplying by the derivative of the function.
2
New cards
Distance
________ and direction that an object has moved from an origin over a period of time.
3
New cards
Velocity
________: a vector quantity with both magnitude and direction.
4
New cards
IROC
a derivative
5
New cards
To differentiate radicals
express it as a power with a rational exponent
6
New cards
To differentiate a power of x that is in the denominator
express as a power with a negative exponent
7
New cards
Use y=mx+b, plug in (x,y) from tangent point and slope
isolate for b
8
New cards
Composite function
one function being subbed into another function
9
New cards
The chain rule is an effective way of differentiating a composite function by first
differentiating the outer function with respect to the inner function, then multiplying by the derivative of the function
10
New cards
Second derivative
f(x) determined by differentiating the first derivative (same process, just starting from the first derivative)
11
New cards
Speed
a quantity or scale that describes the magnitude of motion but does not describe direction
12
New cards
Velocity
a vector quantity with both magnitude and direction
13
New cards
Answer for velocity questions can be either + or
and the sign indicates the direction at which the object is travelling
14
New cards
when v(t) = 0
object is at rest
15
New cards
when v(t) > 0
object is moving in a + direction
16
New cards
when a(t) > 0
object is accelerating; velocity is increasing
17
New cards
when a(t) < 0
object is decelerating; velocity is decreasing
18
New cards
if v(t) a(t) > 0
object is speeding up
19
New cards
if v(t) a(t) > 0
object is slowing down
20
New cards
Second derivative
f’’(x) determined by differentiating the first derivative (same process, just starting from the first derivative)
21
New cards
Possible speed and acceleration values
when v(t) = 0: object is at rest
when v(t) > 0: object is moving in a + direction
when v(t) < 0: object is moving in a - direction
when a(t) > 0: object is accelerating; velocity is increasing
when a(t) < 0: object is decelerating; velocity is decreasing
if v(t) • a(t) > 0: object is speeding up
if v(t) • a(t) > 0: object is slowing down
when v(t) > 0: object is moving in a + direction
when v(t) < 0: object is moving in a - direction
when a(t) > 0: object is accelerating; velocity is increasing
when a(t) < 0: object is decelerating; velocity is decreasing
if v(t) • a(t) > 0: object is speeding up
if v(t) • a(t) > 0: object is slowing down
