Welcome to Class A quote for today: Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out.Robert Collier (Inspirational Author) Homework Answers: Packet p. 1 & 2—“Pushed Beyond the Limit?” Answer: “There are no limits in life.”
Day 2 Limits & Continuity
Proving Continuity In order for a function f(x) to be continuous at a point x=c the following three conditions must be met: • f (c ) must exist • exists, which means
Example Problem #1 • Is the function continuous at x=2 ?
Example Problem #2 • Is the function continuous at x=2 ?
Limits are useful for exploring continuity Example: (We will use the calculator to get the graph!) TBLSET: TblStart: 2 ∆Tbl: 0.01 The limit of a continuous function at some given value of x will be the function evaluated at that value.
Limits are useful for exploring continuity (continued) What type of discontinuity does the following function have? TBLSET: TblStart: 2 ∆Tbl: 0.01
An IMPORTANT example to explore with the calculator Tblset: Tblstart: 0 ∆tbl: 0.001 Radian Mode!!! KNOW THIS!!!
