  6. What you’ll learn about • Interpretation and expression of limits using correct notation • Estimation of limits using numerical and graphical information • Limits of sums, differences, products, quotients, and composite functions • Interpretation and expression of one-sided limits • The Squeeze Theorem …and why Limits can be used to describe continuity, the derivative and the integral: the ideas giving the foundation of calculus.

  7. Average and Instantaneous Speed

  8. Average and Instantaneous Speed The average speed or average rate of change of a moving body during an interval of time is found by dividing the change in distance or position by the change in time. The speed of a falling rock is always increasing. If we know the position as a function of time, we can calculate average speed over any given interval of time. But we can also talk about its instantaneous speed or instantaneous rate of change, the speed at one instant of time. As we will see after the next example, we need the idea of limit to make precise what we mean by instantaneous rate of change.

  18. Evaluating Limits As with polynomials, limits of many familiar functions can be found by substitution at points where they are defined. This includes trigonometric functions, exponential and logarithmic functions, and composites of these functions.
