  1. 8. finding the derivative of a power of a variable, xn = nxn-1
  2. 10. an integral which is evaluated over an interval. Used to find the area between the graph of a function and the x-axis.
  3. 12. in a definite integral, the bounds (or limits) of the integral.
  4. 14. a theorem which allows the computation of the limit of an expression by trapping the expression between two other expressions which have limits that are easier to compute.
  5. 15. The value that a function approaches as the domain variables approach a specific value
  6. 16. The x value where the derivative of a function crosses the y-axis. This may be the location of a maximum or a minimum.

  12. 30. a theorem that ensures the existence of a critical point between any two points on a function that have the same y-value
  13. 31. When a graph changes from decreasing to increasing
  14. 33. the slope of a curve, or the slope of the line tangent to a function.
  15. 34. The technique in finding the volume of a solid object of revolution.

  18. 37. Antiderivative
  19. 38. a theorem which guarantees the existence of an absolute max and absolute min for any continuous function on a closed interval
