Evaluation of Functions in Algebraic FormsWhen we have a function in formula form, it is usually a simple matter to evaluate the function. For example, the function f(x)=5−3x2f(x)=5−3x2 can be evaluated by
First, recall how we find the average value of a function using single-variable calculus.Recall: Average Value of a Function (Single-variable version) If f(x)f(x) is continuous on [a,b][a,b], then the average value of f(x)f(x) on [a,b][a,b] is fave=1b−a∫baf(x)dxf...
CalculusVariationsA number of important problems in applied mathematics can be reduced to finding stationary values of functionals (maxima, minima, and critical values). For functionals defined in terms of integrals, the method of interval integration provides a way to obtain interval (two-sided) ...
In the Differential Calculus, we investigate the relations between the infinitesimal increments of variables from given relations between finite values of those variables.微分术乃由变数定值相互关系探明变数无穷小增数相互关系The operation of finding the differential of a function or a variable is called ...

What are the Applications of Trigonometric Functions? The trigonometric functions have numerous applications in calculuscoordinate geometryalgebra. Theslope of a line, the normal form of the equation of a lie, parametric coordinates of aparabola,ellipse, hyperbola, are all calculated and represented usin...
How do you find the exact value of a trigonometric function? For special angles (30, 45, and 60), use the side ratios shown in Figure 3 and the trigonometric functions: sin = opp/hyp, cos = adj/hyp, tan = opp/adj, csc = hyp/opp, sec = hyp/adj, and cot = adj/opp. Hyp is...
We can also observe that at a maximum, at A, the graph is concave downward. (Topic 14 of Precalculus.) While at a minimum, at B, it is concave upward.A value of x at which the function has either a maximum or a minimum is called a critical value. In the figure -- -- the ...
Finding Derivatives of a Function | Overview & Calculations from Chapter 20 / Lesson 1 116K Understand what derivative calculus is and how to find the derivative of a function. Learn the derivative rules, and practice taking derivatives by following examples...
For example, there is a function F(x) which has F(0) = 0 and F'(0) = 1. I want to calculate the value of the derivative G'(0) of G(x) = 1/F(x) (this is the example), how do I write the code? symsF(x) G(x)=1/F(x) ...
