Example 2
11
Important Limit Use to find the formulas for the derivatives of the tri. functions Use to find other limits Use often in physics for approximations e.g. mechanical system, optics
12
Example Simple Pendulum When the angle is small, the motion can be modeled by
13
Important Limit Evidence: Graphs Proofs (a) Geometric proof (Section 2.4) (b) L’ hospital Rule (Section 6.8) (c) Taylor Series (Section 11.10) Why?
