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

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

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.
