Post 30

Well its time for the third nine weeks exams. Graduation is coming faster than we think. But it's time for a blog so here we go:

I will start with linearization. The steps for working linearization problems are:
1. Identify the equation
2. Use the formula f(x)+f ' (x)dx
3. Determine your dx in the problem
4. Then determine your x in the problem
5. Plug in everything you get
6. Solve the equation

Now I am going to take about the limit rules. The limit rules are:
1. if the highest exponent is the same on the top and bottom then the limit is the top coefficient over the bottom coefficient of the highest exponents.
2. If the highest exponent is on the top then the limit is infinity.
3. But if the highest exponent is on the bottom then the limit is 0.

Next I am going to talk about related rates. The steps for related rates are:
1. Identify all of the variables and equations
2. Identify the things that you are looking for
3. Sketch a graph and then label that graph
4. Create and write an equation using all of the variables
5. Take the derivative of this equation with respect to time
6. Substitute everything back in
7. Solve the equation

Now I am going to talk about angle of elevation. Angle of elevation problems are pretty much worked the same as related rate problems except you are looking for an angle in these instead of a rate.

Can someone give me a brush up on how to work an optimization problem?
