Very advanced algebra and geometry Look at the two pictures, the problem in both cases is to determine the amount of energy required to push the crate to the top. calculus problem regular math problem things are constantly changing unchanging force/unchanging speed Precalculus Mathematics Limit Process Calculus
Find the slope of the tangent line at P m sec =
Approximate the area of the region As you increase the number of rectangles, the approximation becomes better and better.
x f(x) x approaches 0 from the left f(x) approaches e x approaches 0 from the right f(x) approaches e Suppose you are asked to find
x f(x) Use the table on the calculator Evaluate the functionat several points near x=0 and use the results to estimate the limit
Find the limit of f(x) as x approaches 2, where f is defined as
Show that the limit does not exist
Discuss the existence of the limit
Discuss the existence of the limit.
1. f(x) approaches a different number from the right side of c than it approaches from the left side. 2. f(x) increases or decreases without bound as x approaches c. 3. f(x) oscillates between two fixed values as x approaches c.
