F prime look at the y cord

[Ann --- MATH @annMATH4]

F(x) look at the slope

[Ann --- MATH @annMATH4]

The slope of f(x) = the y cord on f'(x)

[Ann --- MATH @annMATH4]

Use point slope form when writing the equation for your tangent lines

[Ann --- MATH @annMATH4]

@spirit_butler Yes

[Ann --- MATH @annMATH4]

Always be sure to find a common denominator when adding or subtracting fractions!

[Ann --- MATH @annMATH4]

Always remember the formal definition of a derivative: f(x+h)-f(x)/h

[Ann --- MATH @annMATH4]

Always remember that h is approaching 0 so be sure to substitute 0 for h!

[Ann --- MATH @annMATH4]

Use a secant line to estimate the instantaneous rate of change

[Ann --- MATH @annMATH4]

The instantaneous rate of change is the slope at a single point

[Ann --- MATH @annMATH4]

Plug in (x-h) for x to begin to find your derivative

[Ann --- MATH @annMATH4]

A derivative can be defined as the slope of a curve!

[Ann --- MATH @annMATH4]

When the function is approaching an asymptote the limit will be infinity!

[Ann --- MATH @annMATH4]

@laraIM4 No, plug in those numbers to the equation above!

[Ann --- MATH @annMATH4]

Try finding a common denominator when direct substitution fails!

[Ann --- MATH @annMATH4]

Remember: if there is one VA the graph has 2 pieces, if there are 2 VA the graph has 3 pieces. Etc.

[Ann --- MATH @annMATH4]

When direct substitution fails you can also divide out common factors and then use direct substitution!!

[Ann --- MATH @annMATH4]

When direct substitution doesn't work try using the conjugate to cancel out factors!

[Ann --- MATH @annMATH4]

To find a slant asymptote use long division!

[Ann --- MATH @annMATH4]

Slant asymptotes occur when the largest degree in the numerator is exactly 1 greater than the denominator
