Introduction
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
A limit looks at what happens to a function when the input approaches, but
does not necessarily reach, a certain value.
The general notation for a limit is below.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
\begin_inset Formula ${\displaystyle \lim_{x\to c}f(x)=L}$
\end_inset
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
This is read as
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
the limit of
\begin_inset Formula $f(x)$
\end_inset
as
\begin_inset Formula $x$
\end_inset
approaches
\begin_inset Formula $c$
\end_inset

\begin_inset Formula $L$

Informal Definition of a Limit
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
\begin_inset Formula $L$

is the limit of
\begin_inset Formula $f(x)$
\end_inset
as
\begin_inset Formula $x$
\end_inset
approaches
\begin_inset Formula $c$
\end_inset
.
The value of
\begin_inset Formula $f(x)$
\end_inset
comes close to
\begin_inset Formula $L$
\end_inset
when
\begin_inset Formula $x$
\end_inset
is close (but not necessarily equal) to
\begin_inset Formula $c$
\end_inset

It can be represented by either of the following forms, with the former
being far more common.

\begin_layout Section
Finding Limits
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
If
\begin_inset Formula $c$
\end_inset
is in the domain of the function and the function can be built out of rational,
trigonometric, logarithmic and exponential functions, then the limit is
simply the value of the function at
\begin_inset Formula $c$
\end_inset
.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
If
\begin_inset Formula $c$
\end_inset
is not in the domain of the function, then in many cases (as with rational
functions) the domain of the function includes all of the points near
\begin_inset Formula $c$
\end_inset
, but not
\begin_inset Formula $c$
\end_inset
.
An example would be if one wanted to find
\begin_inset Formula ${\displaystyle \lim_{x\to0}\frac{x}{x}}$
\end_inset
, where the domain includes all real numbers except
\begin_inset Formula $0$
\end_inset
.
In that case, one would want to find a similar function, with the hole
filled in.
The limit of this function at
\begin_inset Formula $c$
\end_inset
will be the same, while the function is the same at all points not equal
to
\begin_inset Formula $c$
\end_inset
.
The limit definition depends on
\begin_inset Formula $f(x)$
\end_inset
only at the points where
\begin_inset Formula $x$
\end_inset
is close to
\begin_inset Formula $c$
\end_inset
but not equal to it.
And since the domain of the new function includes
\begin_inset Formula $c$
\end_inset
, one can now (assuming it's still built out of rational, trigonometric,
logarithmic and exponential functions) just evaluate the function at
\begin_inset Formula $c$
\end_inset
as before.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
In the above example, this is easy; canceling the
\begin_inset Formula $x$
\end_inset
's gives 1, which equals
\emph on
\begin_inset Formula $\nicefrac{x}{x}$
\end_inset
\emph default
at all points except
\begin_inset Formula $0$
\end_inset
.
Thus,
\begin_inset Formula ${\displaystyle \lim_{x\to0}\frac{x}{x}=\lim_{x\to0}1=1}$
\end_inset
.
In general, when computing limits of rational functions, it's a good idea
to look for common factors in the numerator and denominator.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsection
Does Not Exist
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Note that the limit might not exist at all.
There are a number of ways in which this can occur.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsubsection
Not Same from Both Sides
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
A left-handed limit is different from the right-handed limit of the same
variable, value, and function.
Since, the left-handed limit
\begin_inset Formula $\neq$
\end_inset
right-handed limit, the limit does not exist.
This includes cases in which the limit of a certain side does not exist
(e.g.
\begin_inset Formula ${\displaystyle \lim_{x\to2}\sqrt{x-2}}$
\end_inset
, which has no left-handed limit).
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsubsection
Gap
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
There is a gap (more than a point wide) in the function where the function
is not defined.
As an example, in
\begin_inset Formula $f(x)=\sqrt{x^{2}-16}$
\end_inset
,
\begin_inset Formula $f(x)$
\end_inset
does not have any limit when
\emph on
\begin_inset Formula $-4\leq x\leq4$
\end_inset
\emph default
.
There is no way to
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
approach
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
the middle of the graph.
Note also that the function also has no limit at the endpoints of the two
curves generated (at
\begin_inset Formula $x=-4$
\end_inset
and
\begin_inset Formula $x=4$
\end_inset
) since limits from both sides do not exist.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsubsection
Jump
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
If the graph suddenly jumps to a different level, there is no limit.
This is illustrated in the floor function (in which the output value is
the greatest integer not greater than the input value).
The limit does not exist when the greatest integer function approaches
an integer (
\begin_inset Formula ${\displaystyle \lim_{x\to integer}\lfloor x\rfloor}$
\end_inset
, also written as int
\begin_inset Formula $x$
\end_inset
).
\begin_inset Formula $\nicefrac{|x|}{x}$
\end_inset
and
\begin_inset Formula $\nicefrac{x}{|x|}$
\end_inset
are other examples of graphs that contain jumps.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsubsection
Infinite Oscillation
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
This can be tricky to visualize.
A graph continually rises above and below a horizontal line as it approaches
a certain
\begin_inset Formula $x$
\end_inset
-value, for instance infinity.
This often means that the limit does not exist, as the graph never approaches
a particular value.
However, if the height (and depth) of each oscillation diminishes as the
graph approaches the
\begin_inset Formula $x$
\end_inset
-value, so that the oscillations get arbitrarily smaller, then there might
actually be a limit.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
The use of oscillation naturally calls to mind the trigonometric functions.
An example of a trigonometric function that does not have a limit as
\emph on
\emph default
\begin_inset Formula $x$
\end_inset
approaches
\begin_inset Formula $0$
\end_inset
is
\begin_inset Formula $f(x)=\sin\frac{1}{x}$
\end_inset
.
As
\begin_inset Formula $x$
\end_inset
gets closer to
\begin_inset Formula $0$
\end_inset
, the function keeps oscillating between
\begin_inset Formula $-1$
\end_inset
and
\begin_inset Formula $1$
\end_inset
.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsubsection
Incomplete Graph
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Consider the following example.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
\begin_inset Formula ${\displaystyle g(x)=\left\{ \begin{matrix}2, & \mbox{if }x\mbox{ is rational}\\
0, & \mbox{if }x\mbox{ is irrational}\end{matrix}\right.}$
\end_inset
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
\begin_inset Formula $g(x)$
\end_inset
does not have a limit.
For let
\begin_inset Formula $x$
\end_inset
be a real number,
\begin_inset Formula $g(x)$
\end_inset
can't have a limit at
\begin_inset Formula $x$
\end_inset
.
No matter how close one gets to
\begin_inset Formula $x$
\end_inset
, there will be rational numbers (when
\begin_inset Formula $g(x)$
\end_inset
will be
\begin_inset Formula $2$
\end_inset
) and irrational numbers (when
\begin_inset Formula $g$
\end_inset
will be
\begin_inset Formula $0$
\end_inset
).
Thus
\begin_inset Formula $g(x)$
\end_inset
has no limit at any real number.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsection
One-Sided Limits
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Sometimes, it is necessary to consider what happens when one approaches
an
\begin_inset Formula $x$
\end_inset
value from one particular direction.
To accommodate for this, there are one-sided limits.
In a left-handed limit,
\begin_inset Formula $x$
\end_inset
approaches a from the left hand side (negative).
Likewise, in a right-handed limit,
\begin_inset Formula $x$
\end_inset
approaches a from the right hand side (positive).
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
For example,
\begin_inset Formula ${\displaystyle \lim_{x\to2}\sqrt{x-2}}$
\end_inset
does not exist because there is no left-handed limit.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
The left-handed limit, which does not exist, is expressed as the following.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
\begin_inset Formula ${\displaystyle \lim_{x\to2^{-}}\sqrt{x-2}}$
\end_inset
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
The right-handed limit, which equals
\begin_inset Formula $0$
\end_inset
, is expressed as the following.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
\begin_inset Formula ${\displaystyle \lim_{x\to2^{+}}\sqrt{x-2}=0}$
\end_inset
\end_layout
\begin_layout Section
Infinite Limits
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Limits can also involve looking at what happens to
\begin_inset Formula $f(x)$
\end_inset
as
\begin_inset Formula $x$
\end_inset
gets very big.
For example, consider the function
\begin_inset Formula $f(x)=\frac{1}{x}$
\end_inset
.
As
\begin_inset Formula $x$
\end_inset
becomes very big,
\begin_inset Formula $\frac{1}{x}$
\end_inset
becomes closer to zero.
Without limits it is very difficult to talk about this fact, because
\begin_inset Formula $\frac{1}{x}$
\end_inset
never actually becomes zero.
But the language of limits exists precisely to let one talk about the behavior
of a function as it approaches something, without caring about the fact
that it will never get there.
In this case, however, the same problem as before exists; how big does
\begin_inset Formula $x$
\end_inset
have to be to be sure that
\begin_inset Formula $f(x)$
\end_inset
is really going towards
\begin_inset Formula $0$
\end_inset
?
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
In this case, the bigger
\begin_inset Formula $x$
\end_inset
gets, the closer
\begin_inset Formula $f(x)$
\end_inset
should get to
\begin_inset Formula $0$
\end_inset
.
Really, this means that however close one wants
\begin_inset Formula $f(x)$
\end_inset
to get to
\begin_inset Formula $0$
\end_inset
, one can find an
\begin_inset Formula $x$
\end_inset
big enough so
\begin_inset Formula $f(x)$
\end_inset
is that close.
This is written in a similar way to finite limits and is read as
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
the limit, as
\begin_inset Formula $x$
\end_inset
approaches infinity, equals
\begin_inset Formula $0$
\end_inset
,
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
or
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
as
\begin_inset Formula $x$
\end_inset
approaches infinity, the function approaches
\begin_inset Formula $0$
\end_inset
.
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
\begin_inset Formula ${\displaystyle \lim_{x\to\infty}\frac{1}{x}=0}$
\end_inset
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsection
Rules
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
The easiest way to determine limits as
\begin_inset Formula $x$
\end_inset
approaches
\begin_inset Formula $\pm\infty$
\end_inset
is by using the graphing calculator to make observations, or by plugging
in high values of positive and negative numbers in a calculator.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
However, there are three rules for determining a limit of a fraction analyticall
y as a variable approaches infinity.
For each rule, one must look at the variables on both the numerator and
denominator of the function.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Look for the highest term (with the highest exponent) in the numerator.
Look for the same in the denominator.
These rules are based on that information.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
If the exponent of the highest term in the numerator matches the exponent
of the highest term in the denominator, the limit is the fractional ratio
of the coefficients of the highest terms.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
If the
\emph on
numerator
\emph default
has the highest term, then the fraction is called
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
top heavy
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
and the limit is infinity.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Itemize
If the
\emph on
denominator
\emph default
has the highest term, then the fraction is called
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
bottom heavy
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
and the limit is zero.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
If there is no denominator stated, it is understood that the denominator
is 1 or
\begin_inset Formula $1n^{0}$
\end_inset
, and the limit will be infinity.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Section
Asymptotes
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsection
Vertical Asymptotes
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
The line
\begin_inset Formula $x=a$
\end_inset
is a vertical asymptote for the function
\begin_inset Formula $f(x)$
\end_inset
if at least one of the following statements is true.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Enumerate
\begin_inset Formula ${\displaystyle \lim_{x\to a}f(x)=\pm\infty}$
\end_inset
\end_layout
\begin_layout Enumerate
\begin_inset Formula ${\displaystyle \lim_{x\to a^{-}}f(x)=\pm\infty}$
\end_inset
\end_layout
\begin_layout Enumerate
\begin_inset Formula ${\displaystyle \lim_{x\to a^{+}}f(x)=\pm\infty}$
\end_inset
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
The limits from both directions do not have to be equal to have an asymptote,
but they may be equal.
Essentially, a vertical asymptote occurs where the the value of a limit
is positive or negative infinity from any direction.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Recall that this occurs where the fraction of a function is undefined (denominat
or equals zero).
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsection
Horizontal Asymptotes
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
The line
\begin_inset Formula $y=a$
\end_inset
is a horizontal asymptote for the function
\begin_inset Formula $f(x)$
\end_inset
if
\begin_inset Formula ${\displaystyle \lim_{x\to\infty}f(x)=a}$
\end_inset
or
\begin_inset Formula ${\displaystyle \lim_{x\to-\infty}f(x)=a}$
\end_inset
.
If
\begin_inset Formula ${\displaystyle \lim_{x\to\infty}f(x)=a}$
\end_inset
and
\begin_inset Formula ${\displaystyle \lim_{x\to-\infty}f(x)=b}$
\end_inset
, then the function
\begin_inset Formula $f(x)$
\end_inset
has two asymptotes at
\begin_inset Formula $y=a$
\end_inset
and
\begin_inset Formula $y=b$

The function
\begin_inset Formula $f(x)=\frac{x^{2}-9}{x-3}$
\end_inset
is considered to have a removable discontinuity at
\begin_inset Formula $x=3$
\end_inset

It is discontinuous at that point because the fraction then becomes
\begin_inset Formula $\frac{0}{0}$
\end_inset
which is undefined.
Therefore the function fails the very first condition of continuity.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
If the function is slightly modified, the discontinuity can be removed and
the function becomes continuous.
Standard algebraic techniques for simplifying fractions and algebraic expressio

factoring, multiplying by conjugates) can be used.

Calculating Continuities

One should be able to determine where a function is discontinuous.
In some cases, one may be required to determine the value(s) of variable(s)

A system of equations is required when there are multiple variables.

Squeeze (Sandwich) Theorem
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
The squeeze theorem, also known as the sandwich theorem, is used to find
the limit of a function by comparison with two other functions whose limits
are known or easily computed.
It refers to a function
\begin_inset Formula $f(x)$
\end_inset
whose values are squeezed between the values of two other functions
\begin_inset Formula $g(x)$
\end_inset
and
\begin_inset Formula $h(x)$
\end_inset
, both of which have the same limit
\begin_inset Formula $L$
\end_inset
.
If the value of
\begin_inset Formula $f(x)$
\end_inset
is trapped between the values of the two functions
\begin_inset Formula $g(x)$
\end_inset
and
\begin_inset Formula $h(x)$
\end_inset
, the values of
\begin_inset Formula $f(x)$
\end_inset
must also approach
\begin_inset Formula $L$
\end_inset
.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Quote
If the following are true:

Example
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
\begin_inset Formula ${\displaystyle \lim_{x\to0}x\sin\frac{1}{x}}$
\end_inset
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Note that the sine of anything is in the interval
\begin_inset Formula $[-1,1]$
\end_inset
.
In other words,
\begin_inset Formula $-1\le\sin x\le1$
\end_inset
for all
\begin_inset Formula $x$
\end_inset
).
As a result, for all nonzero
\begin_inset Formula $x$
\end_inset
,
\begin_inset Formula $-1\times\left|x\right|\le x\sin\frac{1}{x}\le1\times\left|x\right|$
\end_inset

Simplified, this means
\begin_inset Formula ${\displaystyle -\left|x\right|\le x\sin\frac{1}{x}\le\left|x\right|}$
\end_inset

Since
\begin_inset Formula ${\displaystyle \lim_{x\to0}-\left|x\right|=\lim_{x\to0}\left|x\right|=0}$

\begin_layout Subsection
End Behavior
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
The end behavior of a graph describes how it appears as
\begin_inset Formula $x$
\end_inset
approaches infinity to the right (
\begin_inset Formula $x$
\end_inset
increases) or to the left (
\begin_inset Formula $x$
\end_inset
decreases).
End behavior is expressed as a behavior model.
The behavior model of a graph depends on the highest order term in the
equation.
In rational expressions (fractions), this would be the division of the
highest order term in the numerator by the highest order term in the denominato
r.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
For example, the behavior model of
\begin_inset Formula ${\displaystyle \frac{2x^{5}+x^{4}-x^{2}+1}{3x^{2}-5x+7}}$
\end_inset
is
\begin_inset Formula ${\displaystyle \frac{2x^{5}}{3x^{2}}}$
\end_inset
.
The limit as
\begin_inset Formula $x$
\end_inset
approaches both positive and negative infinity would be positive infinity.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsubsection
Differing Behavior
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Sometimes, right-hand and left-hand behavior differ.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
If the function is
\begin_inset Formula $f(x)$
\end_inset
and its left-hand behavior model is
\begin_inset Formula $g(x)$
\end_inset
,
\begin_inset Formula ${\displaystyle \lim_{x\rightarrow\infty^{-}}\frac{f(x)}{g(x)}=1}$
\end_inset
.
Likewise, if the function is
\begin_inset Formula $f(x)$
\end_inset
and its right-hand behavior model is
\begin_inset Formula $h(x)$
\end_inset
,
\begin_inset Formula ${\displaystyle \lim_{x\rightarrow\infty^{+}}\frac{f(x)}{h(x)}=1}$
\end_inset
.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Paragraph
Example
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
\begin_inset Formula $f(x)=x+e^{-x}$
\end_inset
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
\begin_inset Formula ${\displaystyle \lim_{x\rightarrow\infty^{-}}\frac{x+e^{-x}}{e^{-x}}=\lim_{x\rightarrow\infty^{-}}\frac{x}{e^{-x}}+\lim_{x\rightarrow\infty^{-}}\frac{e^{-x}}{e^{-x}}=0+1=1}$
\end_inset
.
Therefore,
\begin_inset Formula $y=e^{-x}$
\end_inset
is the left-hand behavior model.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
\begin_inset Formula ${\displaystyle \lim_{x\rightarrow\infty^{+}}\frac{x+e^{-x}}{x}=\lim_{x\rightarrow\infty^{+}}\frac{x}{x}=\lim_{x\rightarrow\infty^{+}}\frac{e^{-x}}{x}=1+0=1}$
\end_inset
.
Therefore,
\begin_inset Formula $y=x$
\end_inset
is the right-hand behavior model.

Tangent Lines
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
The derivative can be used to calculate the equation of a line tangent to
a curve at a certain point.
The derivative is the slope of the tangent line, and when the coordinates
of the certain point on the curve are known, the calculated slope and the
coordinates of the certain point on the curve (values can be calculated
by plugging into equation of curve) can be plugged into
\begin_inset Formula $y=mx+b$
\end_inset
or the point-slope formula to determine the equation of the tangent line.
\end_layout

If the slope of a curve at a given point (derivative) is equal to the slope
of another curve at a given point, then the two curves have parallel tangent
lines at the indicated points.

Notation
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
The derivative notation is special and unique in mathematics.
There are two kinds of notations --- Leibniz notation and Newtonian notation.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsection
Leibniz Notation
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
The Leibniz notation is expressed as
\begin_inset Formula $\frac{dy}{dx}$
\end_inset
, meaning
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
rate of change in
\begin_inset Formula $y$
\end_inset
with respect to
\begin_inset Formula $x$
\end_inset
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
or as
\begin_inset Formula $\frac{d}{dx}$
\end_inset
, which literally means
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
derivative with respect to
\begin_inset Formula $x$
\end_inset
.
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
Because the derivative of function
\begin_inset Formula $y$
\end_inset
is defined as a function representing the slope of function
\begin_inset Formula $y$
\end_inset
, the second (or double) derivative is the function representing the slope
of the first derivative function.
In Leibniz notation, this is written as:
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
\begin_inset Formula ${\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx}\left(\frac{dy}{dx}\right)=\frac{d^{2}y}{dx^{2}}}$
\end_inset
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsection
Newtonian Notation
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
With the Newtonian notation, the derivative of the function
\begin_inset Formula $f(x)$
\end_inset
is denoted by
\begin_inset Formula $f^{\prime}(x)$
\end_inset
, and its second (or double) derivative is denoted by
\begin_inset Formula $f^{\prime\prime}(x)$
\end_inset

This is read as

Asymptotes
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
A linear asymptote is a straight line that a graph approaches, but does
not become identical to.
Asymptotes are formally defined using limits.

The line
\begin_inset Formula $x=a$
\end_inset
is a vertical asymptote for the function
\begin_inset Formula $f(x)$
\end_inset
if at least one of the following statements is true.
\end_layout

\begin_layout Standard
The limits from both directions do not have to be equal to have an asymptote,
but they may be equal.
Essentially, a vertical asymptote occurs where the the value of a limit
is positive or negative infinity from any direction.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Recall that this occurs where the fraction of a function is undefined (denominat
or equals zero).
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsubsection
Removable Discontinuities
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
The function
\begin_inset Formula $f(x)=\frac{x^{2}-9}{x-3}$
\end_inset
is considered to have a removable discontinuity at
\begin_inset Formula $x=3$
\end_inset
.
It is discontinuous at that point because the fraction then becomes
\begin_inset Formula $\frac{0}{0}$
\end_inset
which is undefined.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Standard algebraic techniques for simplifying fractions and algebraic expression
s (i.e.
factoring, multiplying by conjugates) can be used to eliminate the discontinuit
y.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
\begin_inset Formula ${\displaystyle f(x)=\frac{x^{2}-9}{x-3}=\frac{(x+3)(x-3)}{(x-3)}=\frac{x+3}{1}\cdot\frac{x-3}{x-3}=\frac{x+3}{1}\cdot1=x+3}$

However, the function is not really continuous, and an open circle must
be left in the graph at the removable discontinuity.

Note that in some functions, the graph may pass through the horizontal

\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Essentially, a horizontal asymptote occurs at the value of a limit where

approaches positive or negative infinity.

Rules
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
The easiest way to determine limits as

approaches

However, there are three rules for determining a limit of a fraction analyticall
y as a variable approaches infinity.
For each rule, one must look at the variables on both the numerator and
denominator of the function.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Look for the highest term (with the highest exponent) in the numerator.
Look for the same in the denominator.
These rules are based on that information.

\begin_layout Standard
Maxima and minima are points where a function reaches a highest or lowest
value, respectively.
A maximum occurs when positive slope changes to negative slope and a minimum
occurs when negative slope changes to a positive slope.
There are two kinds of extrema (a word meaning maximum or minimum): global
and local, sometimes referred to as
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
absolute
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
and
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
relative,
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
respectively.
A global maximum is a point that takes the largest value on the entire
range of the function, while a global minimum is the point that takes the
smallest value on the range of the function.
Local extrema are the largest or smallest values of the function in the
immediate vicinity.
See Figure
\begin_inset CommandInset ref

\end_inset
.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
All extrema look like the crest of a hill or the bottom of a bowl on a graph
of the function.
A global extremum is always a local extremum too, because it is the largest
or smallest value on the entire range of the function, and therefore also
in its vicinity.
It is also possible to have a function with no extrema, global or local
(e.g.
\begin_inset Formula $y=x$

It is important to note that not all cases in which the first derivative

first derivative of a function is equal to zero or does not exist at all
turning points and extrema.
\begin_inset Quotes eld
\end_inset
Flatpoints
\begin_inset Quotes erd
\end_inset
(e.g.
triple roots) may also occur when the first derivative of a function is
equal to zero, but they are not turning points nor extrema because no slope
change occurs.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsection
Classification
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
At any extremum, the slope of the graph is zero or undefined, as the graph
must stop rising or falling at an extremum, and begin to fall or rise.
Because of this, extrema are also commonly called stationary points or
turning points.
If the graph has one or more of these stationary points, these may be found
by setting the first derivative equal to zero and finding the roots of
the resulting equation as well as values where the function is undefined.
These values are referred to as critical points.
Note that if the domain is restricted, the endpoints of the domain must
also be checked to see if they are global extrema.

\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
True extrema require a sign change in the first derivative.
This makes sense --- the graph must rise (positive first derivative) and
fall (negative first derivative) to form a maximum.
In between rising and falling, on a smooth curve, there will ideally be
a point of zero slope --- the maximum.
A minimum would exhibit similar properties, but in reverse.

First Derivative Test
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
This leads to a simple method to classify a stationary point --- plug
\begin_inset Formula $x$
\end_inset
values (test points) slightly left and right into the derivative of the
function.
If the results have opposite signs then it is a true extremum.
To calculate the coordinates of the minimum or maximum point, one would
plug the determined
\begin_inset Formula $x$
\end_inset
value into the original function to find its
\begin_inset Formula $y$
\end_inset
value.

\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Caution must be exercised with this method, as, if a point too far from
the extremum is picked, one could take it on the far side of another extremum
and incorrectly classify the point.
A more rigorous method to classify a stationary point is called the extremum
test that uses the second derivative, but this simple method is acceptable.

Ordinary differentiation is explicit differentiation.
Implicit differentiation is useful when differentiating an equation that
cannot be explicitly differentiated because it is impossible or hard to
isolate variables (e.g.

Initial Value Problems
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsection
Introduction
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
An equation that contains a derivative is called a differential equation.
For example,
\begin_inset Formula $\frac{dy}{dx}=2x$
\end_inset
is a differential equation.
Every differential equation of a function corresponds to a specific equation
at a particular point (referred to as a particular solution), assuming
the point is in the function's domain.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
An initial value problem provides a differential equation and a particular
point through which the function passes through.
The specific equation is determined by calculating the value of
\begin_inset Formula $C$
\end_inset
.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsection
Example
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
\begin_inset Formula \begin{eqnarray*}
\frac{dy}{dx} & = & 2x,\quad y(1)=6\\
\int\left[\frac{dy}{dx}\right] & = & \int[2xdx]\\
y & = & x^{2}+C\\
6 & = & (1)^{2}+C\\
6 & = & 1+C\\
C & = & 5\\
y & = & x^{2}+5\end{eqnarray*}
\end_inset
\end_layout
\begin_layout Section
Slope Fields
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
Slope fields (also known as direction fields) are a logical extension to
initial value problems as they provide a sketch of the differential equation
for any value of
\begin_inset Formula $C$
\end_inset
.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
A table containing the value of
\begin_inset Formula $\frac{dy}{dx}$
\end_inset
(the function's slope) at different
\begin_inset Formula $x$
\end_inset
and
\begin_inset Formula $y$
\end_inset
values is used to create a slope field.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Subsection
Approaches

Horizontal Pattern
\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
When the differential equation only contains the letter
\begin_inset Formula $y$

\end_inset
), there is a horizontal pattern.
\end_layout
\begin_layout Paragraph

\end_layout
\begin_layout Standard
When the differential equation only contains the letter
