Front

Derivative of $\arctan(x)$

Back

$\frac{1}{1+x^2}$ One of the most common inverse trig derivatives in integration.

Front

Limit definition of a function $f(x)$ at $c$

Back

$\lim_{x \to c} f(x) = L$ The value $f(x)$ approaches $L$ as $x$ gets arbitrarily close to $c$.

Front

Limit of $\frac{\sin(x)}{x}$ as $x \to 0$

Back

1 Essential for deriving the derivatives of trigonometric functions.

Front

Limit of $\frac{1 - \cos(x)}{x}$ as $x \to 0$

Back

0 Used in the proof of the derivative of $\cos(x)$.

Front

Squeeze Theorem (Sandwich Theorem)

Back

If $g(x) \le f(x) \le h(x)$ and $\lim g(x) = \lim h(x) = L$, then $\lim f(x) = L$ Used to find limits of functions trapped between two known limits.

Front

Definition of Continuity at a point $a$

Back

$\lim_{x \to a} f(x) = f(a)$ Requires the limit to exist, the function to be defined, and both to be equal.

Front

Intermediate Value Theorem (IVT)

Back

If $f$ is continuous on $[a, b]$, it takes every value between $f(a)$ and $f(b)$ Often used to prove the existence of roots.

Front

Infinite Limit: $\lim_{x \to 0^+} \frac{1}{x}$

Back

$\infty$ Indicates a vertical asymptote at $x=0$.

Front

Limit at Infinity: $\lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{1}{x}$

Back

0 Indicates a horizontal asymptote at $y=0$.

Front

Limit Law: Constant Multiple Rule

Back

$\lim_{x \to c} [k \cdot f(x)] = k \cdot \lim_{x \to c} f(x)$ Constants can be pulled out of the limit operation.
