What is the formula for average velocity and why?

(s(b) - s(a)) / (b - a)

Velocity is calculated by finding the position times the time of the object, so this equation simply finds the change in position over the change in time.

If a function goes up to infinity (or down to negative infinity) around a specific x-value, this is called a ____?

Vertical Asymptote

In terms of "u" and "v", the product rules is defined as...

d/dx (uv) = (u')(v)+(u)(v')

What is the formula for the chain rule?

d/dx f(g(x)) = f'(g(x)) (g'(x))

What is the constant rule?

If f(x)=k, where k is any real number, then f'(x)=0

What is wrong with the following statement: the graph of a polynomial of degree 5 cuts the horizontal axis 5 times.

The degree of the polynomial indicates only the possibility of turns. For example, x^5 only crosses the x axis once.
