Implicit Differentiation: xy = cosy
1. 1*y + x*(dy/dx) = -siny*dy/dx 2. (dy/dx). [x + siny] = -y 3. dy/dx = -y/(x+siny)
To find the absolute max or min of f over and interval
1. Find the critical numbers of f in (a,b). 2. Find the values of f at the critical numbers in (a,b). 3. Find the values of f at the endpoints. 4. Determine the largest and smallest values of f from the previous 2 steps.
Limits: Horizontal Limits
1. If the highest exponentials are the same then lim is the ratio of the leading coefficients. 2. If Numerator is higher then it approaches infinity (+or-) 3. if denominator is higher it approaches 0
Related Rates Problems:
1. Read the problem carefully. 2. Draw a diagram even if it is not requested for the problem. 3. Introduce notation and assign symbols to all quantities that are functions of time. 4. Express the given information and required rates in terms of derivatives. 5. Write an equation that relates the various quantities. Use geometry to reduce one of the variables if needed. 6. Use the chain rule to differentiate with respect to t. 7. Substitute given information into the equation and solve for the unknown rate.
Optimization
1. Read the problem carefully. 2. Draw a diagram if possible and label the quantities. 3. Introduce Notation. 4. Express the quantities as functions and/or equations. 5. If there are two variables use the constraint to reduce the problem to one variable. 6. Now the function should have one variable so find the global maximum and/or minimum for the problem. 7. Make sure you answer the problem that was asked! For example, if the problem asks for the perimeter don't give the dimensions as your answer.
what do you do to take the derivative of y = x^x?
1. Take the natural logarithm of both sides of an equation and use the laws of logarithms to simplify the expression. 2. Differentiate both sides implicitly with respect to x. 3. Solve for y' [You don't need to reverse the log at the end]

Mean Value Theorem:
f'(c) = f(b)−f(a)/ b−a
Critical numbers
f'(x) = 0 or the end points points or f'x = dne
first derivative test
if c is a critical number and f'(c) = 0, then f has a local maximum at c if f' changes from positive to negative, and f has a local minimum at c if f' changes from negative to positive.
second derivative test
if f'(c) = 0 and f''(c) > 0, then f has a local minimum at c, and if f'(c) = 0 and f''(c) < 0, then f has a local maximum at c. Do not mix these two up!
