Lesson 2.1 Rates of Change Limits What you’ll learn about Average instantaneous speed Definition of Limit Properties of Limits One-sided and two-sided limits Sandwich Theorem (tomorrow) Example 1Finding Average Speed A moving body’s average speed during an interval of time is found by dividing the distance covered by the elapsed time. A rock breaks loose from the top of a tall cliff. What is its average speed during the first 2 seconds of fall? Distance covered is d = 16t2 feet in the first t seconds. Example 2Finding an Instantaneous Speed Find the speed of the rock in Example 1 at the instant t = 2 seconds. Algebraically: We can calculate the average speed of the rock over the interval from time t=2 to any slightly later time t = 2+h. Definition of Limit Assume f is defined in a neighborhood of c and let c and L be real numbers. The function f has limit L as x approaches c if, given any positive number m, there is a positive number n such that for all x, We write: Read: “The limit of f of x as x approaches c equals L.” Theorem 1:Properties of Limits If L, M, c, and k are real numbers and and, then 1) Sum Rule 2) Difference Rule 3) Product Rule 4) Constant Multiple Rule 5) Quotient Rule 6) Power Rule Example 3: Using Properties of LimitsFind the following limits given that and a) b) Theorem 2 (Page 62) Polynomial and Rational Functions 1) If f(x) is any polynomial function and c is a real number, then the limit as x approaches c of f(x) = f(c). 2) If f(x) and g(x) are polynomials and c is any real number, then the limit of f(x)/g(x) = f(c) / g(c), provided g(c)≠0. Example 4Using Theorem 2 the Substitution Method Find each limit. a) b) Example 5 Using the Product Rule Determine Solve Graphically: Graph the function and find the y value at x = 0. Confirm Analytically: Use the fact that tan x = sin x / cos x Example 6
