Calculus 1 - Limits and Functions
A brief introduction
What is Calculus
• Calculus is the study of continuous change, especially considering functions that are NOT
constant for linear;
• Calculus is also the study of in nities and in nitesimals

As t2 approaches t1, we are taking smaller and smaller changes in time delta.
Ajit
As delta t approaches zero, the average velocity, idea becomes more and more like a instantaneous velocity idea

E1 Limit
The limit of one quantity that depends on another is the value that it tends
towards as the other quantity approaches some value
h o
In our previous example, we saw that the Vavg tended towards 6.28 as h approaches toward zero
Therefore, the limit of Vavg as h approached zero was 6.28

→ Limits at in nity help us understand the “end behaviour” of functions
time Imf
Our function tend towards y=1 as x goes off to negative in nity and also positive in nity
↳ This is the “end behaviour”

Vertical asymptote vs. Horizontal asymptote: Horizontal asymptote is the end behaviour of a function; while a
function cannot cross a vertical asymptote
Definition Horizontal Asymptote
The line y L is called a h asymptote of the function fix if either
him fix L or fingfix L
It indicates the end behaviour of f(x) as x goes off to in nity in either direction

1. Removable discontinuity
2. Jump discontinuity
3. In nite discontinuity
The problem is that even if f(a) exists, AND the limit exist, is that we had
