The document discusses the epsilon-delta definition of a limit in calculus. It begins by explaining limits in vague terms before introducing the formal epsilon-delta definition. Examples are provided to demonstrate how to set up and solve epsilon-delta proofs to evaluate limits. The document also provides practice problems and discusses how to apply limits to real-world scenarios like finding the instantaneous velocity of a thrown graduation cap.
In this lecture, we will discuss:
Functions of one variable
Functions of SeveraL VariabLes
Limits for Functions of Two Variables
Partial Derivatives of a Function of Two Variables
In detail and In very simple method That can any one understand.
If you read this all you doubts about function will be clear.

We cover the inverses to the trigonometric functions sine, cosine, tangent, cotangent, secant, cosecant, and their derivatives. The remarkable fact is that although these functions and their inverses are transcendental (complicated) functions, the derivatives are algebraic functions. Also, we meet my all-time favorite function: arctan.

Continuity says that the limit of a function at a point equals the value of the function at that point, or, that small changes in the input give only small changes in output. This has important implications, such as the Intermediate Value Theorem.
Mathematics (from Greek μάθημα máthēma, “knowledge, study, learning”) is the study of topics such as quantity (numbers), structure, space, and change. There is a range of views among mathematicians and philosophers as to the exact scope and definition of mathematics

How to Split Bills in the Odoo 17 POS ModuleCeline George
Bills have a main role in point of sale procedure. It will help to track sales, handling payments and giving receipts to customers. Bill splitting also has an important role in POS. For example, If some friends come together for dinner and if they want to divide the bill then it is possible by POS bill splitting. This slide will show how to split bills in odoo 17 POS.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The Art Pastor's Guide to Sabbath | Steve ThomasonSteve Thomason
What is the purpose of the Sabbath Law in the Torah. It is interesting to compare how the context of the law shifts from Exodus to Deuteronomy. Who gets to rest, and why?
2. a) Find f ’(3)
c) Prove your
answer to part b
b) Prove your
answer to part a
Exploration
Let f(x) = 5x2
f(x) = 5x2
f’(x) = (5*2)x2-1
f’(x) = 10x
f’(3) = 10(3)
f’(3) = 30
Ummmm…?
3. Well… what is a limit?
If f(x) becomes arbitrarily close to a single number L as x approaches c
from either side, the limit of f(x), as x approaches c, is L, or
lim f(x) = L
x→c
f(x) becomes “arbitrarily” close to L?
f(x) “approaches” c?
This seems pretty unspecific.
4. Breaking it down
What if, instead, we use specific values to
represent these vague terms?
Take lim (2x - 3), for example.
x→2
f(x) = 2x-3 becomes “arbitrarily” close to L?
How about f(x) is within .01 units of L? This means that |f(x) - L| < .01.
x “approaches” 2?
Well, for all of those values of f(x) within .01 units of L, there is a
corresponding value of x. And one of those values is 2, the x-value we’re
approaching. This means that 0 < |x - 2| < some value in relation to 0.01.
”If f(x) becomes arbitrarily close to a single number L as x approaches c
from either side, the limit of f(x), as x approaches c, is L”
5. The Formal Definition of a Limit (The
Epsilon-Delta Definition)
Let f be a function defined on an open interval containing c (except
possibly at c) and let L be a real number. The statement
lim f(x) = L
x→c
means that for every 𝜀 > 0, there exists a 𝛿 > 0 such that for every x, the
expression 0 < |x - c| < 𝛿, implies |f(x) - L| < 𝜀.
6. In simpler terms, this means: if the distance between x and c is less
than 𝛿, then the distance between the corresponding value of f(x) and
the limit is less than 𝜀.
7. for every 𝜀 > 0 Our proof must work for every value of 𝜀
there exists a 𝛿 > 0 This is the key: we will need to give the value of
𝛿 to confirm its existence
0 < |x - c| < 𝛿 Our starting point for the proof, meaning that the
distance between x and c will be less than 𝛿, and x will not be equal to
c.
implies |f(x) - L| < 𝜀 This is the conclusion. Once we reach this
statement, the proof is complete.
Breaking it down
“for every 𝜀 > 0, there exists a 𝛿 > 0 such that for every x, the
expression 0 < |x - c| < 𝛿, implies |f(x) - L| < 𝜀.”
8. Let’s Practice!
”for all 𝜀 > 0 there exists a 𝛿 > 0 such that if
0 < |x - c| < 𝛿, then |f(x) - L| < 𝜀”
We will find 𝛿 by working backwards.
First, we can sub in our known values, f(x)
and L
Then, we simplify with the goal of
obtaining the form |x - c| < 𝛿
Since we were evaluating the limit as x
approaches 2, the left sides of both of these
inequalities are equal, so the right sides are
equal, too.
Given 𝜀 > 0
Choose 𝛿 =
Suppose 0 < |x - 2| < 𝛿
Check |2x-3 - 1|
𝜀/2
∴
9. Let’s Practice!
”for all 𝜀 > 0 there exists a 𝛿 > 0 such that if
0 < |x - c| < 𝛿, then |f(x) - L| < 𝜀”
We start the same as last time, working backwards,
trying to turn this into the form of |x - c| < 𝛿
We rewrite the absolute value this way because, since f(x) is
non-linear, 𝛿 to the right side of x = c is likely not equal to 𝛿 to
the left side of x = c
Now that we’ve solved for x, we subtract 2 from all
parts of the inequality to turn it into the form of |x -
c| < 𝛿
Since there are two candidates for 𝛿, the left and right sides of
the inequality, and 𝛿 must be less than or equal to both of
them, we use the minimum of the two values as 𝛿.
Given 𝜀 > 0
Choose 𝛿 =
Suppose 0 < |x - 2| < 𝛿
Check |2x2-3 - 5|
∴
10. Now you try! Given 𝜀 > 0
Choose 𝛿 = 𝜀/3
Suppose 0 < |x - 2| < 𝛿
Check |2x-3 - 1|
∴
11. Application of the Epsilon-Delta Definition
of a Limit
At graduation, you throw your cap in the air to symbolize the end of
this chapter of your life. The height of your cap above the ground in
feet, h(x), depends on the time in seconds after you threw it, t, and can
be modeled by the function h(x) = -5x2 + 12x.
A) Using a limit, find the cap’s instantaneous velocity at t = 1 second.
B) Prove your answer using an ϵ−δ proof.
12. a) Find f ’(3)
c) Prove your
answer to part b
b) Prove your
answer to part a
Back to the Exploration
Let f(x) = 5x2
f(x) = 5x2
f’(x) = (5*2)x2-1
f’(x) = 10x
f’(3) = 10(3)
f’(3) = 30
Ummmm…?
Given 𝜀 > 0
Choose 𝛿 =
Suppose 0 < |x - 3| < 𝛿
Check |(5x2 - 5(3)2) / (x-3) - 30| < 𝜀
