The **Product Rule** differentiates a product of two functions.
Formula: `(fg)' = f'g + fg'`
Pro-Tip: 'First D Second + Second D First' is a classic mnemonic!

Alright, future engineers!
The **Fundamental Theorem of Calculus (FTC)** links differentiation & integration. It states: If `F(x)=∫_a^x f(t)dt`, then `F'(x)=f(x)`.
Ex: If `F(x)=∫_0^x cos(t)dt`, `F'(x)=cos(x)`.
Pro-Tip: It's the ultimate 'undo' button between derivatives & integrals!

Alright, future engineers!
The **Mean Value Theorem (MVT)** guarantees that a function's instantaneous rate of change equals its average rate over an interval.
Ex: `f'(c) = (f(b)-f(a))/(b-a)` for some `c` in `(a,b)`.
Pro-Tip: It's all about guaranteeing a *specific point* where slopes match!

**Critical Points**: Where `f'(x)=0` or `f'(x)` is undefined. These are spots where local max/min *might* occur.
Ex: `f(x)=x^2`, `f'(x)=2x`. `2x=0` means `x=0` is a crit. pt.
Pro-Tip: Always test critical pts (and endpoints!) for absolute extrema!

Alright, future engineers!

A **Limit** is the value a function approaches as its input gets arbitrarily close to a specific point.
Ex: `lim(x->2) (x^2 - 4)/(x - 2) = 4`.
Pro-Tip: Always simplify first if you hit 0/0!

**U-Substitution:** Simplifies integrals by changing variables.
Ex: For `∫2x cos(x^2) dx`, let `u=x^2`, so `du=2x dx`.
Pro-Tip: Find a function & its derivative in the integrand!

#Calculus #Integration #STEM #StudyNotes

Alright, future engineers!

A **Critical Point** is where a function's derivative is zero or undefined. Ex: For `f(x)=x^3-3x`, `f'(x)=3x^2-3=0` at `x=±1`. Pro-Tip: They're candidates for local max/min. Use 1st/2nd Derivative Tests!

Alright, future engineers!
**Optimization** is finding the maximum or minimum value of a function to solve a real-world problem.
Ex: To maximize profit P(x), set P'(x)=0 & check critical points.
Pro-Tip: It’s how we design for peak performance or minimal cost!
