A function has to be continuous at
x=a
if the
lim_(x->a) f(x)
exists.
What is, not necessarily. A function can have a removable discontinuity for the limit to exist.
Evaluate the limit algebraically or explain why the limit does not exist:
lim_(x->0)(3x^2-2x+4)
What is 4?

local maximum: (0, 6)
absolute maximum: (-3, 249)
absolute minimum: (2, -26)?
Is F(x)=x^2+4x+1 the antiderivative of
f(x)=2x+4
What is Yes?
If there is a vertical asymptote at x=a for the function y=f(x) then f(x) is undefined at the point x=a
What is True? The point is not in the domain of the function.
Evaluate the limit algebraically or explain why the limit does not exist:

concave down on (pi/2,pi)
The antiderivative of f(x)=e^x-3x^2+sinx
What is F(x)=e^x-x^3-cosx+C ?
A continuous function has a continuous derivative.
What is False? A function itself might be continuous, but the derivative might not exist at some points.
Evaluate the limit algebraically or explain why the limit does not exist:
lim_(x->2) (3x^2-2x-8)/(x^2-4)
What is 4?
The third derivative of
y=(3x+2)^2
What is 0?
The derivative of f(x)=3^sin(2x)
What is dy/dx=2cos(2x)*ln3*3^sin(2x)
The derivative
d/dx int_1^(x^3)sqrt(4-t^2)dt
What is
3x^2*sqrt(4-x^6)
If f'(c)=0 there is a maximum or minimum at x=c
What is False? If the derivative does not change sign at the critical point, that point is neither maximum nor minimum.
