the function exists at a.
When limit exists If and , then If the left-hand limit exists and the right-hand limit exists and they are the same value, then the overall (two-sided) limit exists. Limits can exist whether or not the function exists at a. And, if the function does exist, but is not the same value as the limit at a (i.e., f(a)≠L), that’s okay, and, in fact, that’s how we know that a function is discontinuous at x=a (stay tuned: Section 2.6).

Types of Discontinuities
Draw the graph of a function y = f(x) so that the graph shows: exactly one removable discontinuity, and exactly one jump discontinuity, and exactly one infinite discontinuity. After you have completed the graph, identify the location of each of these discontinuities. Friday, February 1, 2019 MAT 145

Secant Slope We want to find the tangent line to y = f (x) at the point P (a, f (a)). Consider a nearby point Q (x, f (x)), where x a, and compute the slope of the secant line PQ: Friday, February 1, 2019 MAT 145
29
Tangent Slope Then we let Q approach P along the function y = f (x) by letting x approach a. Secant slope is mPQ. Tangent line slope is m. As Q approaches P, x approaches a. And as x approaches a, mPQ approaches m. Friday, February 1, 2019 MAT 145

The slope of this secant line differs from the slope of the tangent line by an amount that is approximately proportional to h. As h approaches zero, the slope of the secant line approaches the slope of the tangent line. Therefore, the true derivative of f at x is the limit of the value of the slope function as the secant lines get closer and closer to being a tangent line. Friday, February 1, 2019 MAT 145

The value f ’(a) is called:
the derivative of f at x = a, the instantaneous rate of change of f at x = a, the slope of f at x = a, and the slope of the tangent line to f at x = a. Friday, February 1, 2019 MAT 145

The derivative in action!
S(t) represents the distance traveled by some object, where t is in minutes and S is in feet. What is the meaning of S’(12)=100? Friday, February 1, 2019 MAT 145
46
The derivative in action!
S(t) represents the distance traveled by some object, where t is in minutes and S is in feet. What is the meaning of S’(12)=100? From the description of the context, the “rate units” are: feet per minute. The value 12 is an input variable, so we are looking at the precise instant that 12 minutes of travel has occurred, since some designated starting time when t = 0. S’ indicates rate of change of S, indicating we have information about how S is changing with respect to t, in feet per minute. The value 100 specifies the rate: 100 feet per minute. Putting it all together: At precisely 12 minutes into the trip, the object’s position is increasing at the rate of 100 feet per minute. Friday, February 1, 2019 MAT 145

The derivative in action!
C(p) represents the total daily cost of operating a hospital, where p is the number of patients and C is in thousands of dollars. What is the meaning of C’(90)=4.5? From the description of the context, the “rate units” are: thousands of dollars per patient. The value 90 is an input variable, so we are looking at the precise instant when 90 patients are in the hospital. C’ indicates rate of change of C, indicating we have information about how C is changing with respect to p, in thousands of dollars per patient. The value 4.5 specifies the rate: 4.5 thousand dollars ($4500) per patient. Putting it all together: At precisely the instant that 90 patients are in the hospital, the cost per patient is increasing at the rate of $4500 per patient. Friday, February 1, 2019 MAT 145

The derivative in action!
V(r) represents the volume of a sphere, where r is the radius of the sphere in cm. What is the meaning of V ’(3)=36π? From the description of the context, the “rate units” are: cubic cm of volume per cm of radius. The value 3 is an input variable, so we are looking at the precise instant when the sphere’s radius is 3 cm long. V’ indicates rate of change of V, indicating we have information about how V is changing with respect to r, in cubic cm per cm. The value 36π specifies the rate: 36π cubic cm of volume per 1 cm of radius length. Putting it all together: At precisely the instant that the sphere has a radius length of 3 cm, the sphere’s volume is increasing at the rate of 36π cubic cm per cm of radius length.
