What is the definition of a limit in calculus?

Back

A limit is a value that a function approaches as the input approaches some value.

Front

What is the formula for finding the area between two curves?

Back

The area A between two curves y=f(x) and y=g(x) from x=a to x=b is given by A = ∫[a to b] (f(x) - g(x)) dx.

Front

What is the derivative of a function?

Back

The derivative of a function measures how the function's output value changes as its input value changes.

Front

What is the integral of a function?

Back

An integral represents the accumulation of quantities, such as area under a curve.

Front

What is the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus?

Back

The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus links the concept of differentiation and integration, stating that if F is an antiderivative of f on an interval [a, b], then ∫[a to b] f(x) dx = F(b) - F(a).

Front

How do you find the volume of a solid of revolution?

Back

The volume V of a solid of revolution generated by rotating a function y=f(x) around the x-axis from x=a to x=b is given by V = π ∫[a to b] (f(x))^2 dx.

Front

What is the formula for the area of a region bounded by curves?

Back

The area A of a region bounded by curves y=f(x) and y=g(x) from x=a to x=b is A = ∫[a to b] |f(x) - g(x)| dx.

Front

What is the concept of convergence in calculus?

Back

Convergence refers to the property of a sequence or series approaching a specific value as the index increases.

Front

What is the difference between definite and indefinite integrals?

Back

A definite integral has specific limits and results in a number, while an indefinite integral represents a family of functions and includes a constant of integration.

Front

What is the purpose of finding limits in calculus?

Back

Finding limits helps in understanding the behavior of functions at specific points, especially where they may not be defined.
