Acceleration

100

What are the extreme values on an interval of a function also called

Minimum/Maximum
100

What are derivatives and what are they donated by

The rate of change of a function with respect to a variable

They are donated by a prime sign (')


100

What is usually restricted when a function is optimized

The Domain
200

When is an object decelerating?

When its velocity and acceleration have opposite signs

200

Which type of function(s) has extreme maximum/minimum value(s)

EVEN DEGREE FUNCTIONS

200

How do we find the derivative of a function

f'(x)=limx-->0f(x+h)-f(x)/h

200

What is realizing the best possible outcome of a solution, subject to a set of restrictions

Optimizing it

300

What does zero velocity indicate 

That an object is stationary and a possible change of direction may occur at time t

300
What is the difference between local and absolute maximum/minimum

Absolute-Lowest/Highest point in the graph

Local-Lowest/Highest point in a given region

300
How many ways can a derivative fail to exist

In three ways:

Cusp, Vertical Tangent, Discontinuity

300

True or False

The maximum or minimum can also occur at the ends of the restricted domain

True

400

What is the derivative of a derivative function called

Second derivative

400

True or False

A function that is discontinuous on a closed interval has both an absolute maximum value and an absolute minimum value on that interval

False

400

Apply the power rule to f(x)=xn in order to find its derivative

f'(x)=nxn-1

400

When optimizing a function, what does the numerical value at the end represent

The extreme value of the model

500

What is the mathematical link between: position&velocity/////velocity&acceleration

Derivative of the position is velocity

Derivative of velocity is acceleration

500

How to find extreme values of a function

set f'(x)=0 and solve. This gives you the x-coordinates of the extreme values/ local maxs and mins.

500

Find the derivative of the following function:

f(x)=2x3+5x2+6x+7

f'(x)= 6x2+10x+6

List the Algorithm steps for solving optimization problems

1. Determine a function in one variable that represents the function to be optimized

2. Whenever possible, draw a diagram, labelling the given and required quantities

3. Determine the domain of the function to be optimized

4. Determine the derivative and zeros of derivative

5. Solve f'(x) for when x=the zeros and the domain
