Key Topics to Revise

1

Intuitive Idea of Derivatives

  • A body dropped from a cliff covers distance s = 4.9t² metres in t seconds
  • Velocity at any instant is the rate of change of displacement with respect to time
  • Average velocity = (Change in distance)/(Change in time)
2

Limits - Definition and Basic Concepts

  • Limit describes the value a function approaches as the input approaches a specific value
  • lim(x→a) f(x) = L means f(x) gets arbitrarily close to L as x gets close to a
  • The limit may exist even when the function is not defined at that point
3

Algebra of Limits

  • Limits follow algebraic rules similar to regular arithmetic
  • Sum rule: limit of sum = sum of limits
  • Difference rule: limit of difference = difference of limits
4

Standard Limits

  • lim(x→a)(xⁿ - aⁿ)/(x - a) = naⁿ⁻¹ for any positive integer n
  • This formula works for any rational power and positive a
  • Factorization method: xⁿ - aⁿ = (x - a)(xⁿ⁻¹ + xⁿ⁻²a + ... + aⁿ⁻¹)
