Calculus
Find a derivative (that is, find f’(x)) and know that the values of the derivative evaluated at a point gives
the slope of the curve at a point on the curve, and in the case of a distance function its derivative is the
velocity function.
Find equation of a tangent line.
Find values at which f’(x) = 0. What does this about the graph of y = f(x) at such points?
Given a distance function for some object projected upward or the distance a vehicle travels after braking,
find its instantaneous velocity.
Find when the velocity is 0.
Find the height of the projected object when the velocity is 0; or in the case of the braking vehicle, find,
how far it travels before stopping.
Know the relationship between area and definite integral.
Find value of a definite integral using the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus.
You will be given the derivative formulas and antiderivative formulas.
The Soundex directions will be given.
Directions for check digit schemes other than for Postnet and ISBN will be given if needed
