What Is Calculus?
• Advanced algebra and geometry. • Mathematics of change. • It takes a problem that can’t be done with regular
math because things are constantly changing — the changing quantities show up on a graph as curves — it zooms in on the curve till it becomes straight, and then it finishes off the problem with regular math.

The Big Guns of Calculus
1. Differentiation 2. Integration
![Page 4: 1. Functions](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042820/55cf997e550346d0339daa47/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Differentiation
• It’s the process of finding a derivative of a curve. • A derivative is just the fancy calculus term for a curve’s slope or steepness.
• Slope is equal to the ratio of the rise to the run.

Integration
• Basically just fancy addition. • Process of cutting up an area into tiny sections,
figuring out their areas, and then adding them up to get the whole area.

Why Calculus Work
• Curves are straight at the microscopic level. • The earth is round, but to us it looks flat because we’re sort of at the microscopic level when compared to the size of the earth.
• Calculus works because when you zoom in and curves become straight, you can use regular algebra and geometry with them.
• This zooming-in process is achieved through the mathematics of limits.

Calculus and Functions
• Calculus is the mathematics of functions, which are relationships between sets consisting of objects called elements.
• The simplest type of function is a single-variable function, where the elements of two sets are paired off according to certain rules.
![Page 12: 1. Functions](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042820/55cf997e550346d0339daa47/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Functions
• is used to represent the dependence of one quantity upon another.
• is a rule that takes certain numbers as inputs and assigns to each a definite output number
• A function can be many-to-one, but never one-to-many. Sometimes, in order to emphasize the fact that no value of the independent variable maps into more than one value of the dependent variable, we’ll talk about this type of relation as a true function or a legitimate function.

Examples of Functions
• The outdoor air temperature is a function of the time of day.
• The number of daylight hours on June 21 is a function of latitude.
• The time required for a wet rag to dry is a function of the air temperature.

As a person hikes down from the top of a mountain, the variable T represents the time, in minutes, since the person left the top of the mountain, and the variable H represents the height, in feet, of the person above the base of the mountain. Table 1.1 gives values at several different times for these variables. Table 1.1

Which of the following statements is true? a) T is a function of H b) H is a function of T c) Both statements are true: T is a function of
H and H is a function of T d) Neither statement is true: T is not a function
of H and H is not a function of T
![Page 28: 1. Functions](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042820/55cf997e550346d0339daa47/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
ANSWER
(b) We see that H is a function of T since for every value of T, there is a unique value of H. As the person hikes down the mountain, the height at any given moment in time is uniquely determined. We know that T is not a function of H, since we see in Table 1.1 that, for example, the height H = 810 corresponds to at least two values of T.
![Page 29: 1. Functions](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042820/55cf997e550346d0339daa47/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
As a person hikes down from the top of a mountain, the variable T represents the time, in minutes, since the person left the top of the mountain, and the variable H represents the height, in feet, of the person above the base of the mountain. We have H = f(T). The statement f(100) = 300 means:
![Page 30: 1. Functions](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042820/55cf997e550346d0339daa47/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
a) The mountain rises 300 feet above its base, and it takes 100 minutes to descend from the top of the mountain.
b) The mountain rises 100 feet from its base and it takes 300 minutes to descend from the top of the mountain.
c) At a time of 100 minutes after leaving the top of the mountain, the person is 300 feet above the base of the mountain.
d) At a time of 300 minutes after leaving the top of the mountain, the person is 100 feet above the base of the mountain.

ANSWER
(c) The statement f(100) = 300 tells us that when T = 100, we have H = 300. Therefore, (c) is the correct answer.
![Page 32: 1. Functions](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042820/55cf997e550346d0339daa47/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
As a person hikes down from the top of a mountain, the variable T represents the time, in minutes, since the person left the top of the mountain, and the variable H represents the height, in feet, of the person above the base of the mountain. We have H = f(T). The vertical intercept for the graph of this function represents:
![Page 33: 1. Functions](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042820/55cf997e550346d0339daa47/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
a) The time it takes the person to descend from the top of the mountain to the base of the mountain.
b) The height of the person in feet above the base of the mountain when the person is at the top of the mountain.
c) The height of the person in feet above the base of the mountain, as the person hikes down the mountain.
d) The time when the person begins to descend down the mountain.
![Page 34: 1. Functions](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042820/55cf997e550346d0339daa47/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
ANSWER
(b) Since H = f(T), the vertical intercept is the value of H when T = 0. Since T = 0 means the person is at the top of the mountain, we want the value of H when the person is at the top of the mountain, which is answer (b).
![Page 35: 1. Functions](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042820/55cf997e550346d0339daa47/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
As a person hikes down from the top of a mountain, the variable T represents the time, in minutes, since the person left the top of the mountain, and the variable H represents the height, in feet, of the person above the base of the mountain. We have H = f(T). The horizontal intercept for the graph of this function represents:
![Page 36: 1. Functions](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042820/55cf997e550346d0339daa47/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
a) The time it takes the person to descend from the top of the mountain to the base of the mountain.
b) The height of the person in feet above the base of the mountain when the person is at the top of the mountain.
c) The height of the person in feet above the base of the mountain, as the person hikes down the mountain.

ANSWER
(a) Since H = f(T), the horizontal intercept is the value of T when H = 0. Since H = 0 means the person is at the base of the mountain, we want the value of T when the person reaches the base of the mountain, which is answer (a).
![Page 38: 1. Functions](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042820/55cf997e550346d0339daa47/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
A patient’s heart rate, R, in beats per minute, is a function of the dose, D of a drug, in mg. We have R = f(D). The statement f(50) = 70 means: a) The patient’s heart rate goes from 70 beats per
minute to 50 beats per minute when a dose is given.
b) When a dose of 50 mg is given, the patient’s heart rate is 70 beats per minute.
c) The dose ranges from 50 mg to 70 mg for this patient.
d) When a dose of 70 mg is given, the patient’s heart rate is 50 beats per minute.
![Page 39: 1. Functions](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042820/55cf997e550346d0339daa47/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
ANSWER
(b) Since R = f(D), the statement f(50) = 70 means that when D = 50, we have R = 70, so the answer is (b).
![Page 40: 1. Functions](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042820/55cf997e550346d0339daa47/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
A patient’s heart rate, R, in beats per minute, is a function of the dose, D of a drug, in mg. We have R = f(D). The vertical intercept for the graph of this function represents: a) The maximum dose of the drug. b) The maximum heart rate. c) The dose of the drug at which the patient’s heart
stops beating. d) The patient’s heart rate if none of the drug is
administered.
![Page 41: 1. Functions](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042820/55cf997e550346d0339daa47/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
ANSWER
(d) Since R = f(D), the vertical intercept is the value of R when D = 0. This is the heart rate when the dose of the drug is 0, so the answer is (d).
![Page 42: 1. Functions](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042820/55cf997e550346d0339daa47/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
