post seventeen

Ok so this week we were preparing for log one and for our exam.

Some things that i understand in calculus include:
Tangent Line:
1. If you are only given a x value, plug into your equation to find the y value.
2. take the derivative of the equation
3. Plug in your x value into the derivative to find the slope
4. Put in point slope

The formula for the volume of disks is S (top)^2 - (bottom)^2 dx

The formula for the area of washers is S (top) - (bottom)

STEPS:
1. Draw the graphs of the equations
2. Subtract top graph's equation by the bottom graph's equation(in disks each equation would be squared)
3. Set equations equal and solve for x to find bounds
4. Plug in the bounds and the outcome of step 2
5. Integrate

These are fairly simple processes and equations to work with. For what i dont know is linierization. I dont even have notes on this
