Limits and Limit Laws in Calculus

  • Опубликовано: 27 фев 2018
  • In introducing the concept of differentiation, we investigated the behavior of some parameter in the limit of something else approaching zero or infinity. This concept of limits is how calculus got started. As the field developed, new techniques arose such that we don't have to find limits very often anymore, but we still use them sometimes, so let's make sure we know what they are, how they work, and how to evaluate them!

    Random trivia: One of the examples in this video is that limit x-> 0 of sin(x)/x = 1. Seems simple here using a graph or calculator, but this is one of the most important “facts” in all of math. Not necessarily in this form, but in equivalent forms such as the idea that if x is “small”, sin(x) is approximately equal to x.

      Little algebra: 2^2 is 2 * 2, 2^1 is 2, thus 2^0 is 2/2

    • @erikawwad7653
      @erikawwad7653 3 года назад

      in addition, roots are 1/n powers. The square root of 4 is 2, since 2^2 is 4. What times itself 0 times yields a number? How do you multiply 0 times? This would be the 1/0 power, or multiplying infinite times if we choose to evaluate the limit of 1/x approaching 0. Thus the second rule does not hold for 0

      ​@@erikawwad7653 Hi Erik, i didn't raise any complains about law 7) so no worries concerning the 1/n powers. :)
      As for your excellent question "What times itself 0 times yields a number?" I agree, that this doesn't make sense. But that does not mean that b^0 is undefined.
      You are correct that for a positive exponent b^n is equivalent to the product of n times b.
      However, the power b^n also has a reciprocal 1/(b^n). It is also be written as: b^(-n)
      Now what is b^2 * b^3? It is b^5
      This actually generalises:
      b^n * b^m = b^(n+m)
      And now you might answer what:
      b^n * b^(-n) is equal to.
      Dave has a great video about that as well btw: ruclips.net/video/K_TD9GuP9uQ/видео.html
