  8. What is Calculus?

  9. Before Calculus: • What is the x value of the removable discontinuity?

  10. Exploring the Concept of Limit

  11. Compare: Before Calculus: With Calculus: • What happens AT x=1? • What happens as the x values APPROACH 1?

  12. Informal Definition of Limit • If f(x) becomes arbitrarily close to a single number L as x approaches a number c from either side, the limit of f(x), as x approaches c, is L.

  13. Exploring the Concept of Limit

  14. Exploring the Concept of Limit

  15. Remember: • Calculus is math in motion. • When working with limits, (as in life), it’s not the destination which matters, it is the journey.
