200
This is the antiderivative of cos x.
What is sin x (+c)?
200
These are points where f '(x) = 0 but they are not a max or min.
What plateau points?
200
These three are the criteria of a critical point.

300
These are points on a function where concavity changes.
What are inflection points?
300
This is indicated by a negative value for the second derivative.
What is negative concavity (concave down)?
400
If a function has a limit from above that equals C and a limit from below that equals C, then it has this.
What is a limit at C?
