Differential calculation of function many the variables. Derivate of part. Part and complete differentials. Application complete a differential. * Making most of your lectures This is a revision lecture so you should know “at least” the basics already. DO NOT Copy down word for word what is written in this PowerPoint, notes are already in your subject booklets. DO Listen, and make additions to your notes. Ask questions * CALCULUS Calculus is the branch of maths concerned with the study of change. It comprises of two chief branches, differential calculus and Integral calculus. They collectively focus on infinite series, functions, derivatives, integrals and limits. (don’t worry about infinite series, not apart of methods) * Reaching your LIMIT “The limit of a function is the value that the function approaches as x approaches a given value” – Maths Quest Approach meaning becoming close to an extent where the approaching value basically equals the given value. But it does not equal that value. * Limits, continued Mathematically this can be stated as follows. As, x ? given value “c” f(x) ? f(c) Therefore, “Δx” or “h” ? 0 Because Δx is infinitesimal, we can neglect it and use direct substitution to solve limit problems. i.e, [ lim (5x - 4) ] = [ 5(1) – 4 ] = [ 1 ] x?1 * Limits, a revised definition A function does not need to be continuous at a point In order for its limit to be defined. For a limit to be defined than the left limit must equal the right limit. Take for example the following scenario. let, f(x)=(x3/x) then, f(0) = 0/0 = (UNDEFINED) therefore discontinuous at “x=0” take lim(x3/x) = lim(x2) = 0 lim(x3/x) = 0 because lim(x3/x) = 0 = lim(x3/x) Notice in this example how lim(x3/x) exists even though it is discontinuous at x=0. x?0 f(x) = x3/x x?0- x?0 x?0 x?0+ x?0 x?0- x?0
