Limit of a Function

Cards (27)

  • Limit : A point or level beyond which something does not or may not extend or pass.
  • LIMIT is the foundation of Calculus
  • Calculus is a branch of Mathematics that deals with the study of rate of change and dimensions
  • DIFFERENTIAL CALCULUS : rate of change
  • INTEGRAL CALCULUS : dimensions
  • Limit is the value that a function approaches as the input approaches some value
  • LIMIT is where we are to study the behavior of a function as it approaches or get closer to a specific value.
  • The word calculus is a latin word, meaning originally “small pebble”
  • Isaac Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz discovered Calculus
  • Calculus - Mathematical study of continuous change
  • Differential Calculus - concerning rates of change and slopes of curves
  • Integral Calculus - concerning accumulation of quantities and the areas under curves
  • Euler's number - e meaning
  • Leonhard Euler - discoverer of the e constant
  • Limit of a constant - the limit of a constant is itself
  • Limit of x as x approaches c - Limit of x as x approaches c is equal to c
  • Constant Multiple Theorem - the limit of a multiple of a function is equal to the product of constant and limit of the function
  • Addition/Subtraction Theorem - The limits of the sum of the function is equal to the sum of the limit of each function
  • Multiplication Theorem - the limits of the product of the functions is equal to the product of the limit of each function
  • Division Theorem - the limits of the quotient of the function is equal to the quotient of the limit of each function
  • Power Theorem - The limits of the function to the power of n is equal to the limit of the function raised to the power of n
  • Radical/Root Theorem - The limits of the nth root of the function is equal to the nth root of the limit of the function
  • Calculus - a study of continuous change
  • Infinite discontinuity - Interval involving infinity
  • indeterminate - expression such as 0/0 is called
  • 10 - The base of the common logarithm is
  • logarithm, exponential, trigonometric - the three transcendental functions are
