68 views3 pages

Document Summary

If f(c1) > 0, then let a point c2 be the midpoint of a and c1: ex 1: let f ( x)=cos x x . Approximate the zero of f to within 1/8. o o o o f (0)=cos0 0=1 0=1>0 f (1)=cos1 1<0 f (1. 4) . 168<0: etc, ex 2: approximate 7 using the bisection method, let g (x)=x2 7 g( 7)=0, find a zero of g. If lim x a f ( x) f (a) x a exists, then it is the derivative of f at a: derivatives may be written as f " (a) (say: f prime of a ) or as df dx (say: the derivative of f with respect to x. , we say that f is differentiable at a, ex 3: let f ( x)= 1 x2. Find f"(2): limit: f ( x) f (2) x 2. =lim x 2 lim x 2: simplify: lim x 2.
