Important things to remember from Calc 1 as you begin Calc 2. Remember the main goal of Calculus 2 is to learn different techniques and applications for integration. Anti-Derivatives • In calculus, an antiderivative, inverse derivative or indefinite integral of a function f is a differentiable function F whose derivative is equal to the original function f. This is the building blocks of taking an integral and is important to remember as the basics for this course. Integration • The process of finding the area under the curve. (This will be the main topic of Calc 2) • + C is added to the end whenever the bounds are not known (Indefinite Integral). This is called the arbitrary constant. • Some important integrals to know are: o Integrals of trig functions (Sin,Cos,Tan,Csc,Sec,Cot,Sec^3(Secant cubed)) U Substitution • A way of breaking down an integral in order to make it something we know how to handle. • We can change the bounds when we do this by plugging the bounds in for X in our U sub. o This does not HAVE to be done if you do not want to BUT you will have to substitute everything back (Change the U back to X) if you do not change bounds. Derivatives • Product Rule • Quotient Rule • Chain Rule • Memorize Trig Derivatives o See chart above to see the trig derivatives but I highly recommend knowing the trig derivatives and trig integrals. Graphing Using Derivatives st • 1 Derivative is Slope at that point (+ = Upward slope, - = Downward Slope, 0 = turning point) nd • 2 Derivative is Concavity ( + Concave up, - Concave down) o If 0 for the purpose of the second derivative test it would be inconclusive. • Using this idea beyond graphing – Finding Mins and Maxes o This is used in Physics more than Calc but we use derivatives and how they influence our graph to find our minimums and maximums. o To do this we take the derivative of the function and set it equal to 0. This will give us our GLOBAL min or max. Relationships of Derivatives • This is in respect to taking the derivative of position(x) with respect to time(t) st • 1 Derivative is Velocity nd • 2 Derivative is Acceleration rd • 3 Derivative is Jerk Fundamental Theorem of Calculus • The fundamental theorem of calculus is a theorem that links the concept of differentiating a function with the concept of integrating a function.
