What is the Power Rule?
Basically, a fast version of the Constant Multiple Rule, with a little variation. Example Below:
How do we find acceleration?
By taking the derivative of velocity or the second derivative of position.
Does differentiability imply continuity?
If f has a derivative at x=a, then f is continuous at x=a.
What is acceleration?
It is the rate at which a object's velocity changes(increase or decrease) It also measure how fast the object increases or decreases in speed.
What does it mean to be differentiable?
It means that you can take the derivative at a certain point.
Does continuity imply differentiability?
No, just because f(x) is continuous does not mean it is also differentiable. Like the graph of the abs(x), it is continuous, but not differentiable at x=0.

Step 2?
Step 2. We then distribute throughout the equation, plugging the x value in f(x).
Step 3?
Step 3. If needed, cancel out what can be, including variable if you need to factor.
Implicit Differentiation
Steps: 1. Differentiate both sides with respect to x 2. Get all terms with dy/dx to one side of the equation 3. Factor out dy/dx 4. Solve for dy/dx
how do we find speed?
Taking the absolute value of the velocity equation.
What does velocity = 0 signify?
That the object has stopped or changed direction.
How do we find displacement?
The change in position, the endpoint - the start point.
What is the definition of the derivative?
The definition of the derivative finds the slope of the line tangent at a certain point.
Where do we get the derivative?
The derivative is taken from the original function, f(x) or such.
What is a derivative?
The derivative is the equation that finds the slope to a line tangent to the graph.
How do we get the derivative?
The first step for new students is the definition of the derivative.
Step 4?
Then, plug in the value in which h approaches, and you will have your derivative!
How many types of non-differentiablity?
There are 4!
What does velocity tell us?
Velocity tells us the direction of motion in which an object is moving.
What is the first one?
Where there is a corner on the graph of f(x)!
What is the second one?
Where there is a cusp on the graph of f(x)!
Where is the third one?
Wherever the slope is undefined/or a vertical tangent on the graph of f(x)!
Where is the fourth, and last one?
Wherever there is discontinuity, or a 'jump' on the graph of f(x)!
Is there any other way to tell if f(x) is differentiable?
Yes, if the right and left hand derivatives are not equal. They must also be continuous!
Can we take multiple derivatives of the same equation?
Yes, you can take as many as you like! For example: f''(x), f'''(x), f''''(x), etc.
