6.1 ANTIDERIVATIVES GRAPHICALLY AND NUMERICALLY
- The function f(x) = 2x has only one antiderivative.
- Using a graph of f' (the derivative of a function, f) is is possible to
sketch an approximate graph of f.
- In Example 2, the antiderivative, F(x), is always
increasing.
- Where f' (the derivative) has a maximum, f (the function) has a critical
point.
- The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus can be used to express
values of f(x) in terms of definite integrals.
Name:
6.2 CONSTRUCTING ANTIDERIVATIVES ANALYTICALLY
- The antiderivative of a sum is the sum of the antiderivatives
of the summands.
- The antiderivative of a power of x is always a power of
x.
- According to the book, the antiderivatives of the sine and cosine are easy
to guess.
- Antiderivatives can be checked by evaluation.
- An antiderivative of sin x + 3 cos x is cos x - 3 sin x +
7.
- Antiderivatives can always be used to compute definite integrals.
Name:
6.3 DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS
- The equation of motion s = 50t is the only solution to the
differential equation ds/dt=50.
- An object thrown vertically upward moves with uniformly
accelerated motion.
- The object in Example 2 reaches its highest point when t = 9.8/10 = .98
sec.
- An initial-value problem always has a unique solution.
- The solution to a differential equation is actually a family
of functions.
Name:
6.4 SECOND FUNDAMENTAL THEOREM OF CALCULUS
- The definite integral can be used to construct
antiderivatives.
- The limits in a definite integral must be constants.
- The dark region in Figure 6.18 represents f(x+h) - f(x).
- The height of the dark region in Figure 6.19 is approximately
f(x)
- For all numbers x except 0 Si(x) = sin(x)/x
