What is the product rule in calculus?

Back

The product rule states that if you have two functions, f(x) and g(x), then the derivative of their product h(x) = f(x) * g(x) is given by h'(x) = f'(x) * g(x) + f(x) * g'(x).

Define the limit of a function as x approaches a value.

Front

What does A'(w) represent in the context of a bank account model?

Back

A'(w) represents the rate of change of the account balance A with respect to the number of weeks w. It indicates how much money is being deposited or withdrawn per week.

Front

How do you interpret A'(8) = -75 in a real-world context?

Back

A'(8) = -75 means that 8 weeks after the account is opened, Mr. Avellino is withdrawing money at a rate of $75 per week.

Front

What is the significance of a limit that does not exist (DNE)?

Back

A limit that does not exist indicates that as x approaches a certain value, the function does not approach a specific finite value, which can occur due to oscillation or unbounded behavior.

Front

What is the definition of continuity at a point?

Back

Front

Explain the concept of a derivative.

Back

The derivative of a function at a point measures the rate at which the function's value changes as its input changes. It is the slope of the tangent line to the function's graph at that point.

Front

Back

It indicates that as x approaches 2 from the left, the values of f(x) approach -1.

Front

What is the difference between left-hand limit and right-hand limit?

Back

Front

What is the Chain Rule in calculus?

Back

The Chain Rule is a formula for computing the derivative of the composition of two or more functions. If y = f(g(x)), then the derivative is given by dy/dx = f'(g(x)) * g'(x).
