Document Summary

Last class we introduced the idea of the limit to look at the slope of a tangent to a curve. We can extend this concept to functions in general. The limit of a function is the value that function approaches as x approaches a number. Definition: we write lim x a f (x) = l and say. "the limit of f(x), as x approaches a, equals l" Strictly speaking, we are not letting x = a; we are simply letting x approach a. Also, f(x) does not need to be defined at a, only near it. Example: if f (x) = x 3 x 2 4 x + 3 calculate lim x 3 f (x) . As x gets closer to 3, f(x) gets closer to 0. 5. Therefore lim x 3 x 3 x 2 4 x + 3. Evaluating limits using a table is awkward and time-consuming. Fortunately, we have better methods available to us.
