function
(memorize)
a function F is a rule that assigns to each x a value f(x)
Domain
the set of all values for which the rule makes sense
vertical line test
a curve in the xy plane is the graph of a function if and only if no vertical line intersects the curve more than once
what functions are continuous?
linear (y= x+1)
polynomials (y= 3x^2 +5x +1)
power (y = x^3)
y = f(x) + c
shift upward by c units
y = f(x) -c
shift downward by C units
y = f (x+c)
shift to the left c units
y = f (x-c)
shift to the right c units
y = cf(x)
stretches the graph vertically by a factor of c
y = 1/c f(x)
compresses the graph by a factor of c vertically
y = f (cx)
compresses the graph horizontally by a factor of c
y = f(x/c)
stretches the graph horizontally by a factor of c
y = -f(x)
reflection about the x axis
y = f(-x)
reflection about the y axis
degrees and radians
pi = 180 degrees

pi/2 = 90
pi = 180
3pi/2 = 270
2pi = 360
sin (angle)
cosine (angle)
sin: y coordinate
cosine: x coordinate
sin^2 + cos^2 =
sin^2 + cos^2 = 1
one-to-one function
A function is called one-to-one if it takes no value twice

(does it pass the horizontal line test?)
How do you find the inverse of a function?
Solve the function in terms of x, then switch x and y!
Logs

y = log(sub a)X

equals...
a^y = x
log (e) X =
ln (x)
Sin is not one-to-one, so what range and domain do we use?
range: [-1,1]
domain: [-pi/1, pi/1]
Velocity formula
S(t2) - S(t1)
____________

t2-t1
Limit does not exist if...
there is division by 0

limits of (-) and (+) sides do not equal the same value
direct substitution property
if f(x) is a polnomial or a rational function, and a is in the domain of f then lim (x--> a)(F(x)) = f (a)
Squeeze Therm
Fx < Gx < Hx for x near a (except possibly at a) and lim x --> a Fx = L = lim x--> a h(x)


-1 < sin 1/x < 1 for all x near 0
-IxI < IxI sine 1/x < IxI for all x near 0
Continuity
(memorize!!!)
A function f is continuous at a number a if lim (x --> a) = F (a)

A function is continuous on an interval if it is continuous at every point in that interval.
What kinds of functions are continuous?
polynomials, rational, trig, inverse, exponential, logs, roots.

FUNCTIONS FOR WHICH THE DIRECT SUBSTITUTION PROPERTY HOLDS!!
Intermediate value property

(memorize!!)
f is continuous on [a,b] and N is any number between F(a) and F(b) then there is a number c in (a,b) such that f(c) = N
Slope of the tangent line of F at A is...
M= lim (x --> a) [ f(x)-f(a)/(x-a)]
Derivative formula...
f'(a) = lim (x --> a) [ f(x)-f(a)/(x-a)]
What is a derivative?
The slope of the tangent line to the graph
Other derivative formula- "find the slope of y = blah at a = blah"

**Same as instantaneous velocity

MEMORIZE
f(x) = lim (h--> o)

[f(a + h) -f(a)]/h

where h = x-a
x = a+h
cosine
domain: all real #s
range: -1,1
sine
domain: all real #s
range: -1,1
tangent
Domain: all real but 0
range: all real #s
cotangent
Domain: all real but 0
range: all real #s
cosecant
Domain: all real but 0
range: -1,1
secant
Domain: all real but 0
range: -1,1
f^-1(x) =
[f(x)]^-1

NOT

1/f(x)
Direct substitution property
if F is a polynomial or rational and a is in the domain of F, then lim (x -> a) (f(x) = f(a).
lim (x--> a) f(x) = L if an only if
limit from (-) side = limit (+) side
Squeeze Theorm
If f(x) < g(x) < h(x) when x is near a (except possibly at a and lim f(x) = lim h(x) = L then lim g(x) = L
Continuity

MEMORIZE
A function f is continuous at a number a if lim (x-> a) f(x) = f(a). A function f is continuous on an interval if it is continuous at every number in the interval.
Derivative as a function formule
lim (h -> 0) [f(x+h) - f(x)]/h
Limit Law: sum law
the limit of a sum is the sum of its limits
Limit law: difference law
the limit of a difference is the difference of the limits
limit law: constant multiple law
the limit of a constant times a function is the constant times the limit of the function.
limit law: product law
the limit of a product is the product of the limits
quotient law
the limit of a quotient is the quotient of the limits
What is a limit?

memorize
Lim (x--> a) f(x) = limit if we can make the values of f(x) arbitrarily close to L by taking x to be sufficiently close to a, on either side of a, but not equal to a.
What is a derivative?

memorize
The derivative f'(a) is the instantaneous rate of change if y= f(x) with respect to x when x = a.
