Curve sketching and analysis y = f(x) must be continuous at each: critical point: = 0 or undefined. And don’t forget endpoints local minimum: goes (–,0,+) or (–,und,+) or > 0 local maximum: goes (+,0,–) or (+,und,–) or < 0 point of inflection: concavity changes goes from (+,0,–), (–,0,+), (+,und,–), or (–,und,+)

Intermediate Value Theorem If the function f(x) is continuous on [a, b], and y is a number between f(a) and f(b), then there exists at least one number x = c in the open interval (a, b) such that f(c) = y. Mean Value Theorem . . If the function f(x) is continuous on [a, b], AND the first derivative exists on the interval (a, b), then there is at least one number x = c in (a, b) such that
Mean Value Theorem & Rolle’s Theorem If the function f(x) is continuous on [a, b], AND the first derivative exists on the interval (a, b), then there is at least one number x = c in (a, b) such that If the function f(x) is continuous on [a, b], AND the first derivative exists on the interval (a, b), AND f(a) = f(b), then there is at least one number x = c in (a, b) such that f '(c) = 0.
Approximation Methods for Integration Trapezoidal Rule Simpson’s Rule Simpson only works for Even sub intervals (odd data points) 1/3 (1 + 4 + 2 + 4 + 1 )
Theorem of the Mean Value i.e. AVERAGE VALUE If the function f(x) is continuous on [a, b] and the first derivative exists on the interval (a, b), then there exists a number x = c on (a, b) such that This value f(c) is the “average value” of the function on the interval [a, b].

Slope – Parametric & Polar Parametric equation Given a x(t) and a y(t) the slope is Polar Slope of r(θ) at a given θ is What is y equal to in terms of r and θ ? x?
Polar Curve For a polar curve r(θ), the AREA inside a “leaf” is (Because instead of infinitesimally small rectangles, use triangles) where θ1 and θ2 are the “first” two times that r = 0. We know arc length l = r θ and

Maclaurin Series A Taylor Series about x = 0 is called Maclaurin. If the function f is “smooth” at x = a, then it can be approximated by the nth degree polynomial
