Unit Circle

  • circle with the radius of 1 centered around the origin
  • positive direction is counter clock wise
  • negative direction is clock wise
8
New cards

Unit Circle coordinates

cos = x

sin = y

9
New cards

Unit Circle first quadrant

10
New cards
  • When flipping values from sin to sec or cos to csc you keep the negative and just flip the number

note

11
New cards

Pythagorean identities

sin^2 + cos^2 = 1

1 + tan^2 = sec^2

cot^2 + 1 = csc^2

12
New cards

How do you get the Pythagorean identities?

You take the first on of sin^2 + cos^2 = 1 and you divided it by sin and then by cos to get the other two

21
New cards

Velocity

change in x / change in t

change in position over change in time

22
New cards

Instantaneous velocity

the velocity at one particular point

23
New cards

Average Rate of Change

f(x2) - f(x1) / x2 - x1

24
New cards

Secant line

a line which passes through two points on the curve

can find its slope by using the average rate of change equation

25
New cards

To determined the rate of change at one point instead of the rate of change between two points we need the instantaneous rate of change

note

26
New cards

The limit is the instantaneous rate of change

note

limit

suppose f(x) is defined when x is near the number a (this means that f is defined on some open interval contain a, except possible at a itself)

lim f(x) = L

x→ a

the limit of f(x) as x approaches a equals L

28
New cards

lim f(x) = L

x → a-

the left hand limit of f(x) as x approaches a is equal to L if we can made the values of f(x) arbitrarily close to L by restricting x to sufficiently close to a with x < a

29
New cards

lim f(x) = L

x → a+

the right handed limit of f(x) as x approaches a is equal to L if we can make the value of f(x) arbitrarily close to L by restricting x to be sufficiently close to a with x > a

30
New cards

if lim f(x) = L

x → a

then lim f(x) = lim f(x) = L

     x → a-                    x → a+ 
31
New cards

if lim f(x) does not = lim f(x) = L

x → a-                                 x → a+ 

lim f(x) = DNE

x → a

32
New cards

The outputs for the limit is the y output for the function

note

33
New cards

lim f(x) = infinity

x → a

let f(x) be defined on both sides of a expect possibly at a itself

means that the values of f(x) can be made arbitrarily large ( as large as we please by taking x sufficiently close to a, but not equal to a

34
New cards

lim f(x) = - infinity

x → a

means that the values of f(x) can be made arbitrarily large and negative by taking x sufficiently close to a but not equal to a

35
New cards

There is a vertical asymptote if one of these statements is true

lim f(x) = infinity

x → a

lim f(x) = infinity

x → a-

lim f(x) = infinity

x → a+

lim f(x) = - infinity

x → a

lim f(x) = - infinity

x → a-

lim f(x) = - infinity

x → a+

36
New cards

if y = f(x) / g(x) and g(a) = 0 while f(a) does not = 0 then f(x) has a vertical asymptote at x = a

you plug it what the lim is approaching towards to the f(x) function if the numerator is equal to positive and the denominator equal to positive than the lim is approaching positive infinity. If the numerator is approaching positive and the denominator is zero you are approaching positive infinity. If the numerator is negative and the denominator is negative, you are approaching negative infinity. If the numerator is negative and the denominator is zero you are approaching neative infinity

This is only if there is one function in f(x)

37
New cards

lim [f(x) + g(x)]

x → a

lim f(x) + lim g(x)

x → a x → a

38
New cards

lim [f(x) - g(x)]

x → a

lim f(x) - lim g(x)

x → a x → a

39
New cards

lim c[f(x)]

x → a

lim f(x) * c

x → a

40
New cards

lim [f(x) * g(x)]

x → a

lim f(x) * lim g(x)

x → a x → a

41
New cards

lim [f(x) / g(x)]

x → a

lim f(x) / lim g(x) when g(x) is not equal to 0

x → a x → a

42
New cards

lim f(x)^n

x → a

[lim f(x) ]^n

x → a

43
New cards

lim square root (f(x))

x → a

square root [lim f(x)]

                      x → a

Direct Substitution Property

Let f(x) be a polynomial or a rational function and a is in the domain of f then

lim f(x) = f(a)

x → a
