What does calculus have in it?

Basic calculus is about the study of functions. The two main divisions of calculus are differentiation and integration. Differentiation has to do with finding the tangent line to a function at any given point on the function. Integration has to do with finding the area under (or above) a curve. Other topics covered in calculus include: Differential equations Approximations of functions (linear approximation, series, Taylor series) Function analysis (Intermediate Value Theorem, Mean Value Theorem)


How do you solve 5.4e0.06t using the fundamental theorem of calculus?

We need more information. Is there a limit or integral? The theorem states that the deivitive of an integral of a function is the function


Who started calculus?

there was no sure answer about who started calculus but it was Isaac Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz who founded calculus because of their fundamental theorem of calculus.


When was integral calculus invented?

Integral calculus was invented in the 17th century with the independent discovery of the fundamental theorem of calculus by Newton and Leibniz.


What Did Isaac Barrow Do?

He is responsible for the FTC, or fundamental theorem of calculus.

How many x intercepts can a quadratic function have?

For a quadratic function, there is one minimum/maximum (the proof requires calculus) and also it is either always convex or concave (prove is also calculus) it is continuous every where, hence, it can have a maximum of 2 roots. Graph it. If there is more than 2 roots, by Intermediate Value Theorem, it cannot be convex/concave everywhere. It will HAVE to have two intervals of increasing or decreasing. It can be easily proven that given any quadratic function f(x), if x = x0 is a minimum/maximum, and x=a != x0 is a root, then 2x0-a is also a root. It is still true that a = x0 as 2x0-x0=x0 implying it is the only root. But the concept of min/max requires Calculus to prove existence. So, this is Calculus, not algebra.


What is the calculus therom?

The fundamental theorem of calculus is F(b)-F(a) and this allows you to plug in the variables into the integral to find the are under a graph.


What are the uses of differential calculus?

like catching speeders on a highway with the mean value theorem


What are the other areas of maths besides geometry that make use of the Pythagorean Theorem?

Trig., Calculus.


Why did the calculus student who didn't know the fundamental theorem of calculus fail the entire year of calculus?

I don't know the details about this particular student, but I would hazard a guess that he didn't know quite a few other things about calculus, either. In any case, if you don't know the fundamental theorem - at least, if you don't know how to apply it in practice - you'll have serious problems with many different problems - specifically when you need to do definite integrals.


How much trigonometry is used in the Calculus 1?

Calculus is made up of Trig and Algebra. Most people you ask will say that the hardest part of calculus is the algebra. The best advice I can give is to know your unit circle and Pythagoreans Theorem well.
