1. If degree of numerator > the degree of denominator, DNE

Rolle's Theorem
Front
if f(x) is continuous on [a,b] and differentiable on (a,b), and if f(a)=f(b), then there is at least one point (x=c) on (a,b) [DON'T INCLUDE END POINTS] where f'(c)=0

Definition of Continuity at a Point
Front
A function f is continuos at x=c when these 3 conditions are met:
1. f(c) exists
2. lim f(x) exists
x->c
3. lim f(x) = f(c)
x->c

Test for concavity
Front
Let f be a function whose second derivative exists on an open interval I.
1. If f''(x) > 0 for all x in I, then the graph of f is concave upward in I.
2. If f''(x) < 0 for all x in I, then the graph of f is concave downward in I.

First Derivative Test
Front
Used to determine where a function's graph has a min/max and is increasing or decreasing
- if f'(x) changes from pos. To neg. at a critical #, then f has local max
- if f'(x) changes from neg. to pos. At a critical # then f has a local min
