Ext2 Maths Terry Lee PDF

The document discusses several key concepts in calculus including: 1) Functions that intersect the x-axis at y=1, such as square roots, will always intersect at that point. 2) The values of x that make the derivative undefined are where vertical tangents occur, i.e. where the denominator of the derivative is equal to 0. 3) If the gradient is negative infinity as x approaches a value from the left and positive infinity from the right, there will be a cusp.

Will always intersect at y=1 because the

square root of 1 is 1.
Value of x that makes the derivative
undefined is the vertical tangent i.e. Value
of x that makes the denominator of the
derivative=0.

If the grad is -infinite as x approaches 1


from the negative side and grad is
+infinite as x approaches 1 from positive
side, there will be a cusp

(X-2) is an example of indeterminable


E.g. (X-2)

Exists where f(x) is above the


x-axis
Coordinates of vertical tangents
If using part a, need to draw out complex
number z in order to find arg(z).
If f double dash does
not give 0, therefore it
must be double zero
OA=iOB indicates same
length (modulus) with
the i indicating a rotation
of 90
