* * A right triangle is triangle with an angle of 900 ( ??? radians). The sides a ?, b ?, and c of such a triangle satisfy the Pythagorean theorem where the largest side is conventionally denoted c and is called the hypotenuse. The other two sides of lengths a and b are called legs, or sometimes catheti. cathetus math-english@ pw: mathenglish Question:?? Prove the following identity: Answer: The Sandwich Theorem: Limit notation: “The limit of f of x as x approaches c is L.” By the sandwich theorem: Show that: The maximum value of sine is 1, so The minimum value of sine is -1, so So: Proof. is called the derivative of at . We write: “The derivative of f with respect to x is …” There are many ways to write the derivative of “f prime x” or “the derivative of f with respect to x” “y prime” “dee why dee ecks” or “the derivative of y with respect to x” “dee eff dee ecks” or “the derivative of f with respect to x” “dee dee ecks uv eff uv ecks” or “the derivative of f of x” A function is differentiable if it has a derivative everywhere in its domain. It must be continuous. Chain Rule: If is the composite of and , then: Local Extreme Values: If a function f has a local maximum value or a local minimum value at an interior point c of its domain, and if exists at c, then Critical Point: A point in the domain of a function f at which or does not exist is a critical point of f . Note: Maximum and minimum points in the interior of a function always occur at critical points, but critical points are not always maximum or minimum points.
