Limits

Slide 4 / 165

A rubber ball is dropped and bounces back up to half the height it was on the previous bounce. Given this scenario, does the ball ever come to rest? What is the approximate height as time goes to ∞?

Limits

Slide 5 / 165

A limit allows a function, f(x), to have a value as the function approaches x.

In the previous example, the balls height was zero as time went to ∞, even if the object never stopped moving.

Limits

Slide 6 / 165

Consider the functions as x approaches 3.

Limits

Slide 7 / 165

As the function f(x) approaches x=3 what is the value f(x)?

As the function g(x) approaches x=3 what is the value g(x)?

A limit describes what happens to the function as it gets closer and closer to a certain value of x. The function doesn't have to have a value at that x for the limit to exist.

Limits

Slide 8 / 165

We can find a limit by substituting into the function the value of x.

So in the previous example f(x)= x-3, f(3)=0, which the graph shows.

What about ?

Substitution doesn't work. But since a limit is defined by getting close to that value we can look at the graph and see that the function has a value approaching 3 as x approaches 3 from both the left and right. Algebraically, we can factor and reduce and we also will get a limit of 3.

This definition shows continuity at a point on the interior of a function.

Difference Quotient

Slide 61 / 165

The cursor is on the function at x=# /4 . We don't want to round on the AP exam until the end but who wants to copy down all those numbers?

2nd QUIT will take you to the computation screen with x and y still equal to the point on the graph. STORE x->A and y->B using the STORE key and ALPHA.

Go back to graph and "bump" the cursor over to a point close by.2nd QUIT again and this time STORE x->C and y->D.

Calculate the slope (D-B)/(C-A)= .707 (now you can round)

Difference Quotient

Slide 62 / 165

The calculator does have a built in derivative key for graphs.

It is dy/dx. When the cursor is where you want it, use 2nd CALC 6: dy/dx (You may need to zoom in a few times to take the derivative where you want it).

These both stand for the derivative of a function.

Free FallObjects fall toward the Earth at the same rate. Okay, we don't live in a vacuum so not exactly the same rate, but we'll think of it that way. The force that causes the acceleration is called gravity. When gravity is the only force on a falling object, we call that free fall.

Gravity (g) = -32 ft/sec 2 = -9.8 m/sec2 = -980 cm/sec2

a) What is the rockets height at 3 seconds?b) When does the rocket hit the ground?c) What is rockets average velocity between t=7 & t=8?d) What is the rockets velocity at t=5? Does this make sense?

Speed is the absolute value of velocity.

Velocity shows magnitude and direction.

Speed shows only magnitude.

In the last example, the rocket had a velocity of -80 ft/s between t=7 and t=8. Its speed for that same interval is 80 ft/s.

Acceleration is how fast velocity is changing.

Since velocity is how fast position is changing or the derivative of position, acceleration is the derivative of velocity or the second derivative of position.

Slide 161 / 165

Look back at our last example, what was our acceleration? (Take the second derivative to find out.)

What is the rockets acceleration at any given time?

The rocket slows as it reaches its max and then speeds up back to Earth. Look at v(t) and a(t) on number lines.

When velocity and acceleration have opposite signs the object slows down. When they have the same sign the object speeds up.
