linearizing a function

linearizing a function

approzimating the function for values of x close to c using the linear function

local linearity

if f is differentiable at x = c, then the linear function l(x) containing (c, f(c )) w/ slope f’(c ) is a close approximation to the graph of f for values of x close to c

indefinite integral

g(x) = ∫f(x)dx if and only if g’(x) = f(x)

the mean value theorem

1. f is differentiable for all values of x in the open interval (a,b) and..

2. f is continuous for all values of x in the closed interval [a,b]

then there is at least 1 number x=c in (a.b) such that

f’(c) = (f(b)-f(a))/b-a

rolles theorem

if

1. f is differentiable for all values of x in the open interval (a,b) and..

2. f is continuous for all values of x in the closed interval [a,b] and..

3. f(a) = f(b) = 0

then there is at least 1 number x=c in (a,b) such that f’(c) = 0

the fundamental theorem of calculus

if f is an integrable function and if g(x) = ∫f(x)dx then ∫^b_a f(x)dx = g(b) - g(a)

∫^b_a (f(x) ± g(x))dx =

∫^b_a f(x)dx ± ∫^b_a g(x)dx
