1

fundamental theorem of calculus: derivative of an integral form

if g(x) = ∫xa f(t)dt where a stands for a constant, and f is continuos in the neighbourhood of a, then g’(x) = f(x)

2

the natural logarithm function

ln x = ∫x1 1/t dt

where x is a positive number

New cards
3

derivative of lnx

d/dx (lnx) = 1/x

New cards
4

integral of the reciprocal function

1/u du = ln |u| + C

New cards
5

the uniqueness theorem for derivatives

If: 1. f’(x) = g’(x) for all values of x in the domain, and

  1. f(a) = g(a) for one value, x = a, in the domain,

then f(x) = g(x) for all values of x in the domain

6

the uniqueness theorem verbally

if two functions have the same derivative everywhere and they also have a point in common, then they are the same function

New cards
7

logarithm properties of ln - product

ln (ab) = lna + lnb

New cards
8

logarithm properties of ln - quotient

ln(a/b) = lna - lnb

New cards
9

logarithm properties of ln - power

ln(ar) = r lna

New cards
10

logarithm properties of ln - intercept

ln 1 = 0

New cards
11

algebraic definition: logarithm

a = logbc if and only if ba = c where b > 0, b ≠ 1, and c > 0

New cards
12

change-of-base property for logarithms

logbx = logax/logab

in particular: logbx = logex/logeb = lnx/lnb = 1/lnb * lnx

New cards
13

e (functionally)

e = lim n→0 (1+n)1/n = lim n→∞ (1 + 1/n)n

New cards
14

e (numerically)

e = 2.7182818284…

New cards
15

indeterminate forms

0/0, 00, 1^∞, ∞/∞, 0(∞), ∞0, ∞-∞

New cards
16

determinate forms

∞+∞=∞, -∞-∞=-∞, 0^∞=0, 0^-∞=∞, ∞*∞=∞

New cards
17

transcendental numbers

like e or π, numbers that are not only irrational, but that are not able to be expressed using only a finite number of the operations of algebra performed on integers, it goes beyond these operations

New cards
18

inverse relationship between ex and lnx

ln(ex) = x, and elnx = x

New cards
19

exponential with base b

bx = exlnb

New cards
20

derivative and integral of a base-b exponential function

for any positive constant b≠1 (to avoid division by zero)

d/dx (bx) = bxlnb ∫budu = bu/lnb + C

New cards
21

logarithmic differentiation

  1. take ln of both sides

  2. ln of a power

  3. differentiate implicitly with respect to x

  4. solve for y’

  5. substitute for y

New cards
22

l’hopitals rule

if f(x) = g(x)/h(x) and if lim g(x0 as x—>c = lim h(x) as x—>c = 0

then lim f(x) as x—>c = lim g’(x)/h’(x) as x—>c provided the latter limit exists

New cards
23

limit-function interchange for continuous functions

for the function f(x) = g(h(x)), if h(x) has a limit, L, as x approaches c and if g is continuous at L, then lim g(h(x)) as x—>c = g(lim h(x) as x—>c)

New cards
24

∫sinxdx

= -cosx + c

New cards
25

∫cosxdx

= sinx + c

New cards
26

∫tanxdx

= -ln|cosx| + C = ln|secx| + C

New cards
27

∫cotxdx

= ln|sinx| + C = -ln|cscx| + C

New cards
28

∫secxdx

= ln|secx + tanx| + C

New cards
29

∫cscxdx

= -ln|cscx + cotx| + C = ln|cscx - cotx| + C
