oh I had an exam on this back in June (It was in the Maths Core 2 module) , I got an A in it

BUT it was 6 months ago & now my brain is full of trig, trig functions, vectors  & diffrentiating sec, cot & all that rubbish that I'll never need in life.

Do what I do if its homework, COPY OFF PEOPLE!

And then revise like crazy in the week before the exam!

Wait until Calculus 4. Bernoulli has been dead for over 200 years, yet he is still able to be a pain in many people's side.

Aaah Calculus. One of the reasons I switched from Computer Science to Software Engineering. After Calculus I vowed never to do math on my own again.

2 words: graphing calculator. Also, learn how to do calculus, one person solving your homework for you won't do anything. Your book should have a similar example earlier on that you haven't recognized/remembered. They just build sequentially. not too complicated

- Is the graph symmetric with respect to: the x-axis, the y-axis, or the origin

For y axis, determine if f(x) equal to f(-x). For the origin, determine if -f(x) = f(x). For the x axis, determine if each value of x gives pairs of values of y above and below the x axis by the same magnitude.

- Find all vertical/horizontal asymptotes

Vertical: Are there any values of x which would make the function undefined? Or, if it was a single fraction, any values that would make the denominator zero?
Horizontal: Determine the limits as x->infinity or minus infinity.

- Find the x-coordinates of each point at which y has a relative maximum or minimum'
- Find the x-coordinate of each point of inflection

Find f'(x) and f''(x). Where f'(x)=0 it is a maximum or minimum, then use f''(x) for that value to determine its nature.
