What is power rule of derivative?
Front
derivative rule used to differentiate each term in the polynomials

How do you find vertical asymptotes of f(x) algebraically?
Front
Find where the function is undefined. This is usually where the denominator of f(x) = 0.

How do you justify intervals where the velocity of an object is positive?
Front
It is where the position ( s(t) ) is increasing, or where s'(t) is positive.

Front
Find the slope of the tangent line to the function f at x = a. Or, find the derivative of the function at a. Or, find f' (a)

How do you justify intervals where the velocity of an object is negative?
Front
It is where the position ( s(t) ) is decreasing, or where s'(t) is negative.
Back
How do you find the velocity of an object when it hits the ground?
Front
Set the position function to zero, solve for the time, then plug it into the velocity function.
