  2. Difference quotient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Difference_quotient

    By a slight change in notation (and viewpoint), for an interval [ a, b ], the difference quotient. is called [5] the mean (or average) value of the derivative of f over the interval [ a, b ]. This name is justified by the mean value theorem, which states that for a differentiable function f, its derivative f′ reaches its mean value at some ...

    Symbolab. Symbolab is an answer engine [1] that provides step-by-step solutions to mathematical problems in a range of subjects. [2] It was originally developed by Israeli start-up company EqsQuest Ltd., under whom it was released for public use in 2011. In 2020, the company was acquired by American educational technology website Course Hero.

  4. Direct comparison test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct_comparison_test

    In mathematics, the comparison test, sometimes called the direct comparison test to distinguish it from similar related tests (especially the limit comparison test ), provides a way of deducing the convergence or divergence of an infinite series or an improper integral. In both cases, the test works by comparing the given series or integral to ...

  5. Limit comparison test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limit_comparison_test

    t. e. In mathematics, the limit comparison test (LCT) (in contrast with the related direct comparison test) is a method of testing for the convergence of an infinite series .

  6. Numerical differentiation - Wikipedia

    For other stencil configurations and derivative orders, the Finite Difference Coefficients Calculator is a tool that can be used to generate derivative approximation methods for any stencil with any derivative order (provided a solution exists). Higher derivatives. Using Newton's difference quotient,

  7. L'Hôpital's rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L'Hôpital's_rule

    Miscellaneous. v. t. e. L'Hôpital's rule ( / ˌloʊpiːˈtɑːl /, loh-pee-TAHL) or L'Hospital's rule, also known as Bernoulli's rule, is a mathematical theorem that allows evaluating limits of indeterminate forms using derivatives.

  8. Second derivative - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_derivative

    In calculus, the second derivative, or the second-order derivative, of a function f is the derivative of the derivative of f. Informally, the second derivative can be phrased as "the rate of change of the rate of change"; for example, the second derivative of the position of an object with respect to time is the instantaneous acceleration of ...

  9. Synthetic division - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synthetic_division

    Note that there is no term in , so the fourth column from the right contains a zero. In algebra, synthetic division is a method for manually performing Euclidean division of polynomials, with less writing and fewer calculations than long division . It is mostly taught for division by linear monic polynomials (known as Ruffini's rule ), but the ...
