Derivative of an Inverse Function: Iff has an inverse function g then: 1 (x) = = I" FORD derivatives are reciprocal slopes Implicit Differentiation Remember that in implicit differentiation you will have a for each y in the original function or equation. Isolate the 2 Ifyou are taking the second derivative“, you will often substitute the expression you found for the first derivative somewhere in the process First Derivative: J'(o) > 0 function is increasing f'@) <0 function is decreasing. f'@) = 0 or DNE: Critical Values at x.

Distance, Velocity, and Acceleration x(t) = position function v(t) = velocity funetion a(t) =acceleration function The derivative of position (ft) is velocity (ft/sec); the derivative of velocity (ft/sec) is acceleration (ft/sec?). The integral of acceleration (ft/sec?) is velocity (ft/sec) ; the integral of velocity (ft/sec) is position o Speed is | velocity | Ifacceleration and velocity have the same sign, then the speed is increasing, particle is moving right. Ifthe acceleration and velocity have different signs, then the speed is decreasing, particle is moving left.
