FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is implicit differentiation?
Back
Implicit differentiation is a technique used to differentiate equations that define y implicitly in terms of x, rather than explicitly as y = f(x). It involves taking the derivative of both sides of the equation with respect to x and applying the chain rule.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is optimization in calculus?
Back
Optimization is the process of finding the maximum or minimum values of a function subject to certain constraints. It often involves using derivatives to find critical points where the function's slope is zero or undefined.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What are related rates in calculus?
Back
Related rates are a type of problem in calculus that involves finding the rate at which one quantity changes with respect to another. These problems typically involve two or more variables that are related by an equation.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
How do you find the maximum area of a rectangle with a fixed perimeter?
Back
To find the maximum area of a rectangle with a fixed perimeter, set up the area function A = l * w, express one variable in terms of the other using the perimeter constraint, and then use calculus to find the critical points.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the formula for the area of a rectangle?
Back
The area A of a rectangle is given by the formula A = length (l) × width (w).

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
How do you apply implicit differentiation to find dy/dx?
Back
To apply implicit differentiation, differentiate both sides of the equation with respect to x, treating y as a function of x. Then, solve for dy/dx.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is the relationship between the width and height of a tank in optimization problems?
Back
In optimization problems, the relationship between width (x) and height (y) is often defined by an equation that constrains the dimensions, allowing for the calculation of maximum volume or area.
