Peer Work (L2) M1 Calculus 2 with Analytic Geometry:

Name of peer: Jay-ann S. Nabiong and Jessica Marie T. Domingo

1. What are the two key problems that led into the initial formulation of calculus?
Two key problems that led into the initial formulation of calculus are the following: the
tangent problem, or how to determine the slope of a line tangent to a curve at a point and
the area problem, or how to determine the area under a curve.
2. Can you identify concepts or ideas important in understanding a limit? What are they?
Explain and give examples.
A limit is defined as a value that a function approaches the output for the given input values.
Limits are important in calculus and mathematical analysis and used to define integrals,
derivatives, and continuity. It is employed in the analysis process and constantly considers
sinx
how the function will behave at a specific point. An example of a limit is lim x .
x →0

3. In what way we can we make use of these concepts in thinking mathematically about
everyday life?
Base on the concepts of calculus, we can make use of these by predicting the time or
distance of an object since in calculus we are going to determine the slope of a line tangent
to a curve at a point and area under a curve.
