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

So in this problem were given this function F of X equals two X squared -X -1. Over X squared plus one. Okay. Rescue stems 457 and nine. To explain why this function is continuous over its domain. And then and then list the domain. Okay, well, first of all we can think of this function as two functions H of X divided by G F X. Where H of X. Is this polynomial right? Two X squared minus x minus one. Okay. And one of our theorems says that polynomial is continuous over all real numbers. Okay, So then G F x is x squared plus one, which by the same theorem this is a polynomial. So it is continuous over all real numbers. I also want to note that G F X is never zero. Right? No matter what I put in here for X, Even if I put zero in there square zero, you get zero. But then you add one to it. So it's never zero anytime you square a number, you're gonna get some positive number and then you're going to add one to it. So you're always gonna have something that's never zero. Okay, so then by the by the other thing we have F of X is H X over G X. Where GFX is not zero, then f of X is a product uh continuous functions. So by another term we have there ffx is continuous. Okay. Now, since I can put all real numbers in two G fx And I never get zero and I can put all real numbers into H of X as well. Then that means that the domain of F of X is all real numbers, in other words, from minus infinity to infinity. Okay, So there you go. That is by those terms, that's why F of X is continuous and the domain is all real numbers.
