Definition of the derivative
f′(x) = lim h→0 [f(x + h) − f(x)] ÷ h
lim x→0 sin(x)/x
1
lim x→0 (1 − cos x)/x
0
lim x→∞ (1 + 1/x)ˣ
e
L'Hôpital's rule
If a limit gives 0/0 or ∞/∞, then lim f/g = lim f′/g′
Continuity at x = a
f(a) exists, the limit exists, and the limit equals f(a)
Power rule
d/dx xⁿ = n·xⁿ⁻¹
Product rule
(uv)′ = u′v + uv′
Quotient rule
(u/v)′ = (u′v − uv′) ÷ v²
Chain rule
d/dx f(g(x)) = f′(g(x))·g′(x)
d/dx sin(x)
cos(x)
d/dx cos(x)
−sin(x)
d/dx tan(x)
sec²(x)
d/dx eˣ
eˣ
d/dx ln(x)
1/x
d/dx aˣ
aˣ·ln(a)
d/dx arctan(x)
1/(1 + x²)
∫ xⁿ dx (n ≠ −1)
xⁿ⁺¹/(n + 1) + C
∫ 1/x dx
ln|x| + C
∫ eˣ dx
eˣ + C
∫ sin(x) dx
−cos(x) + C
∫ cos(x) dx
sin(x) + C
Fundamental Theorem of Calculus
∫ from a to b of f(x) dx = F(b) − F(a), where F′ = f
u-substitution
∫ f(g(x))·g′(x) dx = ∫ f(u) du with u = g(x)
Critical point
Where f′(x) = 0 or f′(x) is undefined
Second derivative test
f′(c) = 0 and f″(c) > 0 → local min; f″(c) < 0 → local max
Average value of f on [a, b]
1/(b − a) · ∫ from a to b of f(x) dx

How to study with flashcards

Try to write the answer before flipping each card. Start with one topic, then shuffle the whole deck once you know them. Derivatives and integrals mirror each other, so learn them in pairs.
