- 3. allows you to find the derivative of y with respect to x without having to solve the given equation for y
- 6. the value that the function approaches as its argument approaches a
- 9. defined as the instantaneous rate of change, or slope, at a specific point of a function
- 11. vertical lines which correspond to the zeroes of the denominator of a rational function
- 12. function, a real-valued function whose graph does not have any breaks or holes.
- 16. refers to the idea that under certain circumstances (namely if the function we are examining is continuous), we can evaluate
- 18. assigns numbers to functions in a way that can describe displacement, area, volume, and other concepts that arise by combinination
- 19. an integral, but only when it can be set up in a special way.
- 20. branch of mathematics that studies relationships between side lengths and angles of triangles
- 23. the given derivative of the unknown function
- 24. symbol used to represent an arbitrary element of a set.

- 1. occurs when the polynomial in the numerator is a higher degree than the polynomial in the denominator.
- 2. refers to a technique for evaluating limits that requires finding and eliminating common factors
- 4. the part of mathematics in which letters and other general symbols are used to represent numbers and quantities in formula
- 5. The derivative is the instantaneous rate of change of a function with respect to one of its variables
- 7. way of adding slices to find the whole. Integration can be used to find areas, volumes, central points and many useful things
- 8. rule formula used to find the derivatives of products of two or more functions.
- 10. an expression involving two functions whose limit cannot be determined solely from the limits of the individual functions.
- 13. method of finding limits, by simply substituting x with a.
- 14. limit only considers values of a function that approaches a value from either above or below.
- 15. binary relation over two sets that associates to every element of the first set exactly one element of the second set.
- 17. must be used whenever the function y is being differentiated because of our assumption that y may be expressed as a function
- 21. This differentiation process can be continued to find the third, fourth, and successive derivatives of f( x),
- 22. states that given an integral function f(x), we can compute the definite integral of f(x) by finding first its indefinite
