Document Summary

Solve (cid:1876)(cid:1864)(cid:1866)(cid:1876) (cid:1876) (cid:882) so, (cid:1858)(cid:4666)(cid:1876)(cid:4667)=(cid:1876)(cid:1864)(cid:1866)(cid:1876) (cid:1876) (cid:882),(cid:1876)>(cid:882) (cid:1857) (cid:1876) (cid:1864)(cid:1866)(cid:1876) (cid:883) (cid:1858)(cid:4666)(cid:1876)(cid:4667) Math 109 - lecture 12 continuity and derivatives. Discontinuity = where function does not exist = restriction = at (cid:1876)=(cid:882) (cid:887) (cid:883) Goal: to find the slope of a tangent line at a point on a curve. A secant line is a line that intersects a curve at two or more points. A tangent line is a limit of two lines. The slope of a curve at a point is the slope of the tangent at that point. Definition- the derivative of a function f, denoted f" is defined by (cid:1858) =(cid:1864)(cid:1865) (cid:2868)(cid:4666)+ (cid:4667) (cid:4666)(cid:4667) If f"(a) exists, f is said to be differentiable at a. Other notations include: , (cid:1858)(cid:4666)(cid:1876)(cid:4667) , |(cid:1876)= Last notation means, derivative evaluated at x = a . Theorem- if f is differentiable at a , then f is continuous at a.
