Low "D" high minus high "D" low, square the bottom and you're good to go!

What is the quotient rule?

100

If a function is continuous on a closed interval, it must have an absolute minimum and maximum value. This theorem is...

What is that Extreme Value Theorem? (EVT)
100

This quantity is found by taking the absolute value of the velocity function, |v(t)|.

What is speed?

Where did I go to college?

What is UCONN?

Zero is the derivative of...

What is any constant?

200

By the Mean Value Theorem (MVT), if a function is continuous and differentiable on a closed interval, there must exist a point where it's (BLANK) equals it's (BLANK)

What is the INSTANTANEOUS RATE OF CHANGE and AVERAGE RATE OF CHANGE?

200

To find the total distance a particle travels on an interval [a, b], a student must evaluate this definite integral. 

What is integral a to b v(t)dt?

What is my husband's name?

What is Ben?

300

This function and it's derivative are the same

What is Ex?

300

This theorem states that the integral of a function can be found using its antiderivative and that differentiation reverses integration

What is the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus? (FTC)

300

This phrase describes what is happening to a particle's speed if its velocity is positive (v(t) > 0) and its acceleration is negative (a(t) < 0).

What is slowing down? (Speed decreases when velocity and acceleration have opposite signs).

What school did I work at before Hall?

What is the Pathways Academy of Technology and Design?

In the inverse function rule, the derivative of (F-1)'(x) is...

What is 1/f'(f-1(x))?

400

Rolle's Theorem states that if a function f(x) meets the following three conditions:

  1. f(x) is continuous on the closed interval [a, b],

  2. f(x) is differentiable on the open interval (a, b), and

  3. f(a) = f(b)

What is Rolle's Theorem?

When solving a differential equation with an initial condition, this mathematical step must be performed immediately after finding the antiderivative to earn full credit on an FRQ.

What is solving for the constant of integration (+C)?

Where did I get married?

What is the Simsbury Inn?

500

This rule states that a constant can be pulled out of a derivative since it doesn’t affect the rate of change.

What is the constant multiple rule?

500

This theorem states that if a function is continuous on [a,b], it will hit every single y-value between f(a) and f(b) at least once.

What is the Intermediate Value Theorem (IVT)? 

500

This type of discontinuity occurs at x = c if the limit as x approaches c exists, but does not equal the actual function value f(c).

What is a removable discontinuity (or a hole)?
