🔍 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
Graphical Analysis
Sketch the function to identify critical points and behavior
Second Derivative Test
