Limits - Intro

In mathematics, the limit of a function is the value that the function gets very close to as the input approaches some value. Thus, it is referred to as the function value or output value.

Derivatives - Intro

In mathematics, a derivative is a measure of how a function changes as its input changes. Loosely speaking, a derivative can be thought of as how much one quantity is changing in response to changes in some other quantity; for example, the derivative of the position of a moving object with respect to time is the object's velocity. The concept of a derivative developed as a way to measure the steepness of a curve; the concept was ultimately generalized and now "derivative" is often used to refer to the relationship between two variables, independent and dependent, and to various related notions, such as the differential.

Video Transcript

for this problem, we are to explain the meaning of each of the following. The first one is the limit of F of X. As X approaches negative three equals an infinite value, and the other one is that the limit of F of X as X approaches for from the right is a negative infinite value. Now the first one tells us that whenever access close to negative three but not equal to negative three, the value of F of X is a large positive number. And since the limit value is infinite as X gets closer and closer to negative three, we can say that the value of F of X gets bigger and bigger, or that it increases without bound. And with this description we see that this represents the vertical S M dot of the function at X equals negative three. For part B. This tells us that whenever X is close to four but not equal to four, and we are approaching for from the right, the value of F of X is a large negative number. And since the limit value is infinite, as X gets closer and closer to four from the right F of X gets smaller and smaller, or that it decreases without bound. This also tells us that the function has a vertical sm towed at X equals four.
