# Methods - Calculus
$$m \operatorname{of} x \in [a,b] = {{f(b)-f(a)}\over {b - a}} = {dy \over dx}$$
-On CAS: (Action|Interactive) $\rightarrow$ Calculation $\rightarrow$ Diff $\rightarrow$ $f(x)$ or $y=\dots$

## Instantaneous rate of change
**Secant** - line passing through two points on a curve
**Chord** - line segment joining two points on a curve
-Estimated by using two given points on each side of the concerned point.

+## Limit theorems
1. For constant function $f(x)=k$, $\lim_{x \rightarrow a} f(x) = k$
2. $\lim_{x \rightarrow a} (f(x) \pm g(x)) = F \pm G$
**Normal line** - $\perp$ tangent ($m_{{tan}} \cdot m_{\operatorname{norm}} = -1$)
**Secant** $={{f(x+h)-f(x)} \over h}$
-$$\tan \theta = m = f^\prime (x)$$
-
-where $\theta$ is the angle that tangent line makes with +ve direction of $x$-axis

## Strictly increasing
-- $f$ is **strictly increasing** where $f(x_2) > f(x_1)$ and $x_2 > x_1$
-- $f$ is **strictly decreasing** where $f(x_2) < f(x_1)$ and $x_2 > x_1$
+- **strictly increasing** where $f(x_2) > f(x_1)$ and $x_2 > x_1$
+- **strictly decreasing** where $f(x_2) < f(x_1)$ and $x_2 > x_1$
- If $f^\prime (x) > 0$ for all $x$ in interval, then $f$ is **strictly increasing**
- If $f^\prime(x) < 0$ for all $x$ in interval, then $f$ is **strictly decreasing**
- Endpoints are included, even where gradient $=0$
Stationary where $m=0$.
