Calculus I (MAT 145)Dr. Day Thursday Feb 7, 2013 • Limits Involving Infinity (2.6) • Continuity of a Function (2.5) • Assignments MAT 145
What About Limits?(2.1-2.3; 2.6; PIP pp 14-17; 20) • Concept of a Limit: Approachment • Symbolizing Limits • Determining Limits • Properties of Limits • Limits Involving Infinity MAT 145
Approachment • What patterns of approachment in outputs are apparent when the inputs approach some value? • Reminder! We’re not concerned with behavior AT the specific point, only the behavior that’s apparent as we approach it! • Numerical, Graphical, and Symbolic Perspectives • One-Sided and Two-Sided Limits MAT 145
How can we use limit notation to describe the “approachment” exhibited in this graph of inputs and outputs? MAT 145
Use limit symbolism to describe both the one-sided and the two-sided limits that seem apparent as x approaches 0 in the top graph and as x approaches 3 in the other graph. If a particular limit does not exist, signify that with DNE. MAT 145
