Identify the 6 steps to solve an Optimization Problem.
1.) Draw/Label a picture
2.) Create objective and constraint equations
3.) Substitute the constraint equation into the objective
4.) Find the first derivative and set it to zero
5.) Solve for variables
6.) Second Derivative Test to find the maxima/ minima
Write the formula for Linear Approximation [L(x)=?]
L(x)=f(a)+f'(a)(x-a)
What is the formula for differentials?
dy=f'(x)(x2-x1)
What are the three conditions for a graph to be differentiable over an interval?
1.) The graph has to be continuous over an interval
2.) The graph can not have sharp corners
3.) The graph can not have vertical lines or too many oscillations
What is L'Hopital's Rule? and when can it be used?
limx->a f'(x)/g'(x) only when 0/0 or (+/-infinity/infinity)
What are the first and second derivative test used for?
First derivative test= to find critical points
Second derivative test= to find if your answer is a max or a min
