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.
