🔍 Differential Calculus at a Glance
| Concept | Formula/Method | Application |
|---|---|---|
| Tangent | y - y₁ = f'(x₁)(x - x₁) | Slope at a point on curve |
| Normal | y - y₁ = -1/f'(x₁)(x - x₁) | Perpendicular to tangent |
| Maxima/Minima | f'(x) = 0, check f''(x) | Optimization problems |
| Rate of Change | dy/dt = (dy/dx)(dx/dt) | Related rates in real-world scenarios |
💡 Expert Problem-Solving Techniques
