Calculus of one variable Let y = axb‚ where a and b are numbers‚ with b different from zero. The derivative of y with respect to x is dy/dx = abxb-1 Examples: y = 2x7‚ dy/dx = 2*7x7-1 = 14x6 y = 5x0.3‚ dy/dx = 5*0.3*x0.3-1 = 1.5x-0.7 Exercises: Calculate dy/dx a) y= 3x2 b) y = 12x0

These courses are slightly less difficult and do not always go into the same depth as other mathematics courses for people majoring in mathematics or science fields. The two most common math courses taken in this form are Business Calculus and Business Statistics. Examples used for problems in these courses are usually real-life problems from the business world to help students gain a more detailed understanding. An example of the differences

Percent: Percent to fraction: x% = x/100 Percentage formula: Rate/100 = Percentage/base Rate: The percent. Base: The amount you are taking the percent of. Percentage: The answer obtained by multiplying the base by the rate Consumer math formulas: Discount = list price × discount rate Sale price = list price − discount Discount rate = discount ÷ list price Sales tax = price of item × tax rate Interest = principal × rate of interest × time Tips = cost of meals × tip

Pre-Calculus and Trig/Pre-Calculus Writing Assignment As a part of our math course we have been assigned a writing piece in which we are required to discuss the properties and uses of several kinds of algebraic functions. The four models include‚ linear‚ exponential‚ power‚ and inverse power. The purpose of this assignment is to review our understanding of these models and their uses and to fulfill a writing piece for the MEAP test. The first and simplest function to be discussed is the linear function

Math Portfolio HL- Type 1 INVESTIGATINGRATIOS OF AREAS AND VOLUMES The purpose of this portfolio is to investigate the ratios of areas and volumes when a function y= xn is graphed between two arbitrary parameters x=a and x=b such that a‹b. Task 1 The general formula to find area A is [pic] The general formula to find area B is [pic] Therefore‚ the ratio of Area A to Area B is- = [pic] ÷ [pic] = [pic] × [pic] = n : 1 n:1 is the general conjecture formed.
