Topics in Insurance and Annuity
1
Application to Tangents and Normals
- Slope of tangent at point (x₁, y₁) is dy/dx|(x₁,y₁)
- Slope of normal is -1/(dy/dx) if dy/dx ≠ 0
- Equation of tangent: y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
2
Rate Measure (Related Rates)
- Rate of change of one quantity with respect to another
- Chain rule is essential: dy/dt = (dy/dx) × (dx/dt)
- Identify given rates and required rates clearly
3
Approximations using Differentials
- Linear approximation formula: f(a+h) ≈ f(a) + hf'(a)
- Used for calculating approximate values of complex expressions
- h should be small for better accuracy
4
Rolle's Theorem and Lagrange's Mean Value Theorem
- Rolle's Theorem: If f is continuous on [a,b], differentiable on (a,b), and f(a) = f(b), then ∃c ∈ (a,b) such that f'(c) = 0
- LMVT: If f is continuous on [a,b] and differentiable on (a,b), then ∃c ∈ (a,b) such that f'(c) = [f(b)-f(a)]/(b-a)
- Both theorems guarantee existence of a point, not uniqueness
