Some Limit Rules Before Beginning Trig Limits:

1.  The limit of a constant is the constant

2.  The limit of sum/difference is the sum/difference of the limits.

Oct 7­8:53 AM

4.  The limit of product is the product of the limits.

5.  The limit of a quotient is the quotient of the limits, provided the limit of the denominator is not 0.

3.  The limit of a constant times a function is the constant times the limit of the function.

Limits of Trigonometric Functions

Ex 1: Evaluate

a. b. 

Ex 2: Are there any values of c for which     ordoes not exist? Explain.

Before we begin, please make sure your calculator is in radian mode.

The Squeeze TheoremIf two functions squeeze together at a particular point, then any function  trapped between them will get squeezed to that same point.

The Squeeze Theorem deals with limit values, rather than function values.

In the graph below, the upper and lower functions have the same limit value at x = a. The middle function has the same limit value because it is trapped between the two outer functions.

Suppose f(x) < g(x) < h(x) for all x in an open interval about a (except possibly at a itself).  Further suppose 

Then,

What is a derivative?https://www.khanacademy.org/math/ap­calculus­ab/ab­differentiation­1­new/ab­2­1/v/derivative­as­a­concept 

Oct 5­2:01 PM

A derivative is the instantaneous rate of change of a function at a specific value of x.Graphically, it is the slope of the tangent line to a curve at a specific value of x.We can represent this algebraically using limits: 

Note two different types of notation to represent the derivative. Why do you think this is so?

Ex 1: Find the derivative of y = 2x + 3 using the limit definition.

Oct 10­10:55 AM

Ex 2: Find f '(x) for f(x) = x2 + 2x using the limit definition.

Ex 3:  Write the equation of the line tangent to f(x) = x2 + 2x at x = 4.

Ex 4:  Find  dy/dx for y = 1/x.

Ex 5:  Write the equation of the tangent line to f(x) = 1/x at x = 2.

Oct 10­1:37 PM

The definition of the derivative that we have used thus far produces a derivative function that has to then be evaluated at a specific value of x. If we know this specific value in advance, then we can evaluate a less complicated limit that will produce a numeric value for the derivative immediately. 

The Derivative at a Point

To find the derivative of f(x) at x = c, evaluate:

Limit Definition of Continuity

A function is said to be CONTINUOUS at x = c if 1. the two­sided limit at x = c exists2. the function value at x = c is defined3. and these two values are equivalent.

Graphically, when is a function NOT continuous?

DifferentiabilityIn order for a function to be differentiable at a specific value of x, the function must be continuous there and the limit which defines the derivative must exist.

Geometrically, a function f is differentiable at x0 if the graph of f has a tangent line at x0. Thus f is not differentiable at any point x0 where the secant lines do not approach a unique nonvertical limiting position as x approaches x0. These cases can be described informally as corner points (cusps) and points of vertical tangency.

What is a cusp?
