Limit

StarStarStarStar

The value that a function or sequence approaches as the input or index approaches some value.

StarStarStarStar

Concave Down

StarStarStarStar

A function is concave down on an interval if the function's graph lies below its tangent lines, and the second derivative is negative.

StarStarStarStar

Local Maximum

StarStarStarStar

A point on the graph of a function where the function's value is higher than at any neighboring points in a small interval around it.

StarStarStarStar

Fundamental Theorem of Calculus

StarStarStarStar

A theorem that links the concept of differentiation and integration, and states that if FF is an antiderivative of ff on an interval, then abf(x)dx=F(b)F(a)\int_a^b f(x)\,dx = F(b) - F(a).

StarStarStarStar

Continuous Function

StarStarStarStar

A function that has no breaks, holes, or jumps; it can be drawn without lifting the pencil from the paper.

StarStarStarStar

Quotient Rule

StarStarStarStar

A formula to compute the derivative of a quotient of two functions. It states that (uv)=uvuvv2\left(\frac{u}{v}\right)' = \frac{u'v - uv'}{v^2}.

StarStarStarStar

Definite Integral

StarStarStarStar

The integral of a function over a specified interval, which gives the net area between the function and the x-axis on that interval.

StarStarStarStar

Monotonic Function

StarStarStarStar

A function is monotonic on an interval if it is either entirely non-increasing or non-decreasing throughout that interval.

StarStarStarStar

Indefinite Integral

StarStarStarStar

An integral without upper and lower limits that represents a family of functions and includes an arbitrary constant of integration, typically denoted as CC.

StarStarStarStar

Taylor Series

StarStarStarStar

An infinite sum of terms calculated from the values of a function's derivatives at a single point. It approximates the function.

StarStarStarStar

Riemann Sum

StarStarStarStar

A method for approximating the definite integral of a function, by summing up the areas of multiple simple shapes, such as rectangles, that cover the region under the curve.

StarStarStarStar

Critical Point

StarStarStarStar

A point on the graph of a function where the derivative is either zero or undefined. It is where the function may have a local maximum, local minimum, or a point of inflection.

StarStarStarStar

Inflection Point

StarStarStarStar

A point on the graph of a function at which the curvature changes sign, indicating a change in concavity.

StarStarStarStar

Integral

StarStarStarStar

A mathematical concept that represents the area under a curve or the accumulation of quantities.

StarStarStarStar

Derivative

StarStarStarStar

A measure of how a function changes as its input changes; it represents an instantaneous rate of change.

StarStarStarStar

L'Hôpital's Rule

StarStarStarStar

A rule that provides a technique to evaluate limits of indeterminate forms by differentiating the numerator and denominator of a fraction.

StarStarStarStar

Mean Value Theorem

StarStarStarStar

A theorem stating that for a function continuous on [a, b] and differentiable on (a, b), there exists some cc in (a, b) such that f(c)=f(b)f(a)baf'(c) = \frac{f(b) - f(a)}{b-a}.

StarStarStarStar

Uniform Continuity

StarStarStarStar

A function is uniformly continuous on an interval if for any small distance, a common distance can be found such that any two points within this common distance will have their function values within the small distance.

StarStarStarStar

Directional Derivative

StarStarStarStar

The rate at which a function changes at a point in the direction of a given vector.

StarStarStarStar

Concave Up

StarStarStarStar

A function is concave up on an interval if the function's graph lies above its tangent lines, and the second derivative is positive.

StarStarStarStar

Product Rule

StarStarStarStar

A formula used to find the derivative of a product of two functions. It states that (uv)=uv+uv(uv)' = u'v + uv'.

StarStarStarStar

Partial Derivative

StarStarStarStar

The derivative of a function of multiple variables with respect to one variable, treating the other variables as constants.

StarStarStarStar

Intermediate Value Theorem

StarStarStarStar

A theorem that if a function ff is continuous on the closed interval [a, b], then for any value LL between f(a)f(a) and f(b)f(b), there exists some cc in [a, b] where f(c)=Lf(c) = L.

StarStarStarStar

Antiderivative

StarStarStarStar

A function FF is called an antiderivative of ff on an interval if F(x)=f(x)F'(x) = f(x) for all xx in the interval.

StarStarStarStar

Discontinuous Function

StarStarStarStar

A function that has at least one point where it is not continuous, which can be a jump, hole, or other form of disruption in the graph.

StarStarStarStar

Chain Rule

StarStarStarStar

A method for finding the derivative of the composition of two or more functions: if h(x)=f(g(x))h(x) = f(g(x)), then h(x)=f(g(x))g(x)h'(x) = f'(g(x))g'(x).

StarStarStarStar

Local Minimum

StarStarStarStar

A point on the graph of a function where the function's value is lower than at any neighboring points in a small interval around it.

StarStarStarStar

Power Rule

StarStarStarStar

A basic rule for differentiating functions of the form xnx^n, which states that ddxxn=nxn1\frac{d}{dx}x^n = nx^{n-1}.

StarStarStarStar

Gradient

StarStarStarStar

A vector that points in the direction of greatest increase of a function and whose magnitude is the rate of increase in that direction
