Differentiability implies continuity

Calculus III (Part 1)

Continuity

When function is continuous, we can use

Intermediate Value Theorem

If y=f(x) is continous on interval [a,b], and u is a number between f(a) and f(b), then there is a c between [a,b] st. f(c)=u

If a function f is continous on a finate closed interval [a,b], then f has both an absolute maximum and an abolute minimum

Critical points

Concavity

Inflection point is when the graph of f(x) changes concavity

occurs when f''(x) changes sign

Theorems

Extreme Value Theorem

Locating Absolute extrema

To locate absolute extrema on a finite, closed interval [a,b], evaluate f at all critical points and both endpoints. The largest of these values is the absolute maximum value of f on [a,b] while the smallest value is the absolute minimum.

If f(x) has only 1 relative maximum(minimum) at x=c in any given interval, then x=c is also the absolute maximum(minimum) of f(x) in that given interval.

Mean Value Theorem

Let f be continous on the closed interval [a,b] and differentiable on the open interval (a,b). Then there is at least one point c in (a,b) such that f'(c) = (f(b)-f(a))/(b-a)

Rolle's Theorem

Let f be continous on the closed interval [a,b] and differentiable on the opne interval (a,b). If f(a)=0 and f(b)=0, then there is at least one point c in (a,b) such that f'(c)=0

Definition

Suppose the curve C is the graph of a vector- valued function r(t)

Normal vector

Tangent Vectors

Polar Functions

Arc Length of the Polar Curve

Tangent Lines to Polar Curve

Parametric Functions

Tangent lines in Parametric curves

Arc length of the Curve

if y=f(x) is a somooth curve on (a,b)

sometimes, a curve would be in parametric forms, X=f(t),Y=g(t)

Converting to Cartesian form

tan@=y/x,@ represents the angle

x=rcos@, y=rsin@,@ reprsents the angle

Equations of Tangent and Normal lines

Slope of normal = -1/m

At a point of xy-coordinate of (a,b) Equation of tangent line is: y-b = -1/m (x-a)

Slope of tangent = m = dy/dx

At a point of xy-coordinate of (a,b) Equation of tangent line is: y-b = m (x-a)

Local Linear Approximation

When f(x) is differentiable,

If the above limit exists, then f(x) is differentiable (limit to the difference quotient).

Squeeze Theorem

e.g.

Suppose g(x)≤f(x)≤h(x) and if the limit of g(x) at x=c is Y and the limit of h(x) at x=c is Y, then the limit of f(x) at x=c is also equal to Y.
