Chapter 1: Analyzing Functions Using Limits

Limits tell you where you’re going, even if you never actually get there Students often wonder “What is Calculus?” Calculus uses the logic of mathematics to analyze situations involving continuous change by breaking them down into the smallest components (differential calculus) and then rebuilding them (integral calculus). As such, Calculus is considered the science and the art of change. It provides a mechanism to understand the world around us, make predictions, and interpret behavior. One type of behavior involves a limit. What is a limit and how is it useful? The mathematical answer is that a limit is the y-value that a function, f(x), approaches as the value of x approaches some number. A few “real life” examples can be found in: Physics - pressure at a point is calculated as the average pressure (force per unit area) applied to an area that is shrinking to zero (i.e., shrinking to a point).

Ecology - sustainable population (or carrying capacity) is often extrapolated by determining, over an extended period of time (i.e., infinite), the upper bound on some population that can be sustained by a given ecosystem.

Chemistry - if you drop an ice cube into a glass of warm water and measure the temperature against time, the temperature will eventually approach the room temperature where the glass is stored. Determining the final temperature is a limit as time approaches infinity. A limit describes the behavior of a function at a particular point based on the points around it.

EXPLORING THE BIG IDEA In this chapter you should be able to: • Determine the limits of functions using limit theorems. • Interpret limits expressed in analytic notation. • Represent limits analytically using correct notation.

1.1 Rates of Change and Limits – Determining Limits Graphically Warm Up The concept of a limit is CENTRAL to calculus. Limits can be used to describe how a function behaves as the independent variable moves towards a certain value. Consider the functions f ( x) = sin x and g ( x) = x Graph f ( x) = sin x on [ −2π , 2π ] , using an appropriate range. On the same grid graph g ( x) = x . (Be careful…when does x = 1 ?)

When does g ( x) = f ( x) ?

What are the values of g ( x) and f ( x) at the point of intersection?

How do g ( x) and f ( x) behave near x = 0 ?

What do you think the value of the quotient function y =

sin x is at the point of intersection? x

Look graphically and numerically: Using your calculator, graph both f(x) and g(x), then complete the tables of values below.

x

g(x)

x

f(x)

-0.3 -0.2 -0.1 0 0.1 0.2 0.3

g(x)

f(x)

-0.03 -0.02 -0.01 0 0.01 0.02 0.03

Consider the y-value as the x-value gets closer and closer to 0. How do the functions behave as x approaches 0? (use the ZOOM function on your calculator to explore)

What value will the quotient approach as the values of the functions become more and more alike?

Definition: Indeterminate form If functions g ( x) and f ( x) are both 0 at x = a then lim x→a

f ( x) cannot be found by substituting g ( x)

x = a as the result would be 0 . Substitution produces a meaningless expression known as an indeterminate form.

0

Other indeterminate forms include:

∞ , (∞)(0), ∞ − ∞,1∞ , 00 , ∞ 0 . ∞

To determine the value of an indeterminate form, other methods, such as graphing, analyzing numerically or using algebraic manipulations, must be used.

Definition: Limit

lim f ( x) = L is read, “the limit of f of x as x approaches a equals L”. It means that as x gets closer and x→a

closer to a (from the left-side and the right-side of a), the function’s y – value gets closer and closer to the number L.

b)

Did You Know? The modern notation of placing the arrow below the limit symbol is attributed to the English mathematician G.H. Hardy, who used it in his 1908 book A Course of PureMathematics.

SUMMARY The value of a limit is the y – value that the function approaches as x → a . The existence of a limit as x → a never depends on whether the function is defined or undefined at x = a . The limit exists when the function approaches the same y – value on both sides of x = a .

1.4 End Behavior of Functions Warm Up Imagine standing 2 meters away from any wall in your classroom. Now, take a step that is exactly 1/2 of the way towards the wall. Next, repeat that process taking another step that is exactly 1/2 of the way towards the wall. Then, keep repeating this 1/2 step process until you touch the wall with your foot. Graph what this looks like using the number of steps, n, as the independent variable and the distance from the wall, d, as the dependent variable.

Express this process as a limit. What number of steps would you use in the limit?

In theory, if the pattern is followed forever, will you ever reach the wall?

Definition: Continuous function A function is continuous on an interval if and only if it is continuous at every point of the interval. A function is called a continuous function if it is continuous at every point of its domain. Note: A continuous function need not be continuous on every interval, since there may be a point of discontinuity at a point outside of the domain of the function.

Slope of a Function at a Point To calculate the exact value of the instantaneous change of a function we need to use the concept of infinitesimals and limits. In the development of calculus, Newton and Leibniz used the concept of infinitesimals but did not define it explicitly. It is now defined as an indefinitely small quantity approaching zero. The idea is to break down a changing function into tiny pieces, considering each piece to occur over an instantaneous or infinitesimal change in the independent variable. Over an infinitely small interval we can consider the change to have a constant slope.

Leibniz notation

dy ∆y = lim dx ∆x →0 ∆x

Note: Refer to applet with slider that draws a second point on the curve back to the point of tangency https://qrs.ly/begge2s Definition: Slope of a Curve at a Point f ( a + h) − f ( a ) The slope of a curve y = f ( x) , at a point is the value m = lim provided the h →0 h limit at point P(a, f (a )) exists. The tangent to the curve at P is the line through P with this slope. The slope of the tangent indicates the instantaneous rate of change at that point.

Did You Know? Leibniz Notation Gottfried Leibniz (1646-1716) discovered calculus through his use of inifinitesimals, which is expressed in differentials. Thus, the derivative in Leibniz notation dy is expressed as and read as “dy by dx.” dx

Did You Know? (“The Controversy” 1709-1716) Two 17th century mathematicians both claimed that they invented calculus. Isaac Newton began his work on the development of calculus in 1666 with manuscripts that highlighted his method of fluxions and fluents, which he called the derivative of a continuous function. Newton published his work in 1687 in his book the Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica. Leibniz first produced his findings in 1684 and 1686 with his writings on differential calculus and integral calculus in his book Nova Methodus pro Maximis et Minimus. However, there was circumstantial evidence that Leibniz had access to Newton’s manuscripts. In the end, both men have been noted as independent inventors of calculus early in the 18th century after a decade old controversy about the intellectual property related to the invention of modern calculus.

Learn shortcuts to find derivatives quickly and easily

Although the concept of a derivative as the slope of the tangent to a function can be attributed back to mathematicians such as Euclid, Archimedes and Apollonius in the 3rd century BC, their differentiation techniques were limited to the use of infinitesimals. Modern techniques of differentiation are generally credited to Leibniz and Newton, though these are largely built on earlier works submitted by other great minds in the field of mathematics. Newton was the first to apply his techniques to theoretical physics and Leibniz’s notation is still widely used today. Today derivatives are used by: governments in population censuses; economists to ascertain the marginal cost; and, pharmaceutical scientists as they test the body’s reaction to certain medications. Any time you are discussing a rate of change, you are discussing derivatives.

Given xn − an = ( x − a )( x n −1 + ax n − 2 + a 2 x n −3 + ... + a n −3 x 2 + a n − 2 x + a n −1 )

Definition: Velocity function (rectilinear motion)

ds Let s(t) be a position function for an object. Then the velocity function is = s′(t ) represents dt the change in position over time. When s’(t) = 0, the object is not moving. The object is stopped or at rest. When s’(t) > 0, the object is moving in the positive direction (forward/to the right/up). When s’(t) < 0, the object is moving in the negative direction (backward/to the left/down). The net change in position over [a,b] is called the displacement and equals s(b) – s(a). The average velocity over [a,b] equals s (b) − s (a ) b−a Some objects move one-dimensionally. This motion is called rectilinear motion. 166

For those of us that will never visit the moon, we can still experience the jerk. Roller coasters are designed to simulate the system by elevating the acceleration through controlling its rate of change, magnitude, and duration. These changes will prey upon your body’s ability to handle g forces as it demands the designers to have an impeccable understanding of the jerk!

Did You Know? The Natural Logarithm In Latin, “logarithmus naturali”, denoted by the button on your calculator, is the inverse of e. y = ln x y = log e x

ey = x The Scottish mathematician, John Napier (1550 – 1617), nicknamed the Marvelous Merchiston, was studying the motion of someone covering a distance by dividing the time into short intervals of length. He coined the name for this relationship using the Greek words logos (ratio) and arithmos (number). This term became Latinized into the current version, logarithm. Napier is best known as the discoverer of the concept of logarithms which provided a platform for later scientific advances in astronomy, dynamics, and other branches of physics.

4.8 L’Hôpital’s Rule Imagine you’re trying to figure out what happens when you divide zero by zero, or infinity by infinity. It seems like a mathematical dead end, right? That’s where L’Hôpital’s Rule comes to the rescue! This cool calculus rule helps us evaluate limits that initially look impossible. If you have a fraction where both the top and bottom are heading towards zero or both are growing infinitely large, L’Hôpital’s Rule says you can take the derivative (that is, find the rate of change) of the top and the derivative of the bottom separately, and then try the limit again. It’s like giving the numerator and denominator a little nudge to see which one “wins” the race to zero or infinity. By finding their individual rates of change, we can often determine the limit of the original fraction, turning a seemingly unsolvable problem into something much easier to handle. This rule is a powerful shortcut in calculus and helps us understand the behavior of functions when they approach tricky values. A practical example of L’Hôpital’s Rule can come from problem called the disappearing fraction. Imagine you have the fraction (x² - 1) / (x - 1). If you try to plug in x = 1 directly, you get (1² - 1) / (1 - 1) = 0/0, which is an indeterminate form. It’s like the fraction disappears! But L’Hôpital’s Rule can help. 1. Take the derivative of the top: The derivative of x² - 1 is 2x. 2. Take the derivative of the bottom: The derivative of x - 1 is 1. Now you have a new fraction: 2x / 1, or just 2x. Now try plugging in x = 1: you get 2 * 1 = 2. So, even though the original fraction seemed to disappear at x = 1, L’Hôpital’s Rule shows us that the limit as x approaches 1 is actually 2. This means that if you were to graph the function (x² - 1) / (x - 1), there would be a “hole” at x = 1, but the function would be approaching the y-value of 2. L’Hôpital’s Rule involves taking derivatives of the numerator and denominator. What do these derivatives tell us about the original fraction, and why does comparing them help us find the limit?

Did You Know? For Sale – Mathematical Respect £300! As it turns out, L’Hôpital’s rule was not actually discovered by Guillaume de L’Hôpital, but the Swiss mathematician Johann Bernoulli! In 1691, the acclaimed French mathematician met with the talented, yet widely unknown entity, Bernoulli. L’Hôpital, recognizing the young mathematician’s obvious talents and wanting to learn from him, employed him to give private lessons for an initial retainer of 300 pounds under the caveat that none of their work would be disclosed and exclusive right to any of Bernoulli’s discoveries during that time. Under this business agreement, the rule was discovered in 1964 by Bernoulli, but not published until 1969 in L’Hôpital’s calculus textbook entitled Analise Des Infiniments Petits (which included a translated copy of the arrangement they entered into collegially). L’Hopital did acknowledge the input of Bernoulli in a letter to Leibniz regarding the rule that bears his name!

Unit 1 Project - Design a Roller Coaster

You have been hired to design a new roller coaster for Belmont Park in San Diego. Your coaster must 4π satisfy the following safety conditions: no descent can be over , the design must begin with a 9 π incline, never get as high as its previous high point and end at the same height it starts. Write a 4 summary and present your results to the class as if you were trying to convince them to invest in and build your coaster, since your design is the best!

Questions 1. In small groups discuss some possible themes for your design. From your experiences discuss what elements you think make a good roller coaster. Come up with a plan to design the world’s newest roller coaster! You must include the following: • •

Functions you use must be differentiable and continuous at all points along the curve of the roller coaster. Use at least 5 distinct functions. You need to show the graph and a proof that the function you generate is continuous and differentiable at the points where each pair of curves meet. You may use any type of function including linear, trigonometric, exponential, logarithmic, inverse trigonometric, and polynomial.

2. Research the best roller coasters in the world, answer some of the following questions (and get some inspiration for designing your own roller coaster): • • • • • •

What makes them great? Where are they? What kind of names do they have? How much does it cost to ride them? How much did it cost to build them? How fast do they go? If you could ride one roller coaster in the world, which one would you most like to ride and why?

3. Choose a theme for your coaster and transfer your design to a piece of poster paper. It can be drawn freehand, but it should look like what you have drawn on Desmos. Tape or glue several pieces of poster paper together horizontally. You are encouraged to use Desmos or any other graphing application to print your functions. Make sure that you use proper scaling to ensure the shape is accurate when enlarged • • •

Cut out the roller coaster so that the top of it is your track. Then tape or glue one end of the poster paper to the other end. You will end up with a 3-dimensional representation of your roller coaster. Below each of your curves, write its function. Use a heavy dot to show the transition points. On the poster paper itself, show that the curves are continuous and differentiable at those points.

4. Answer the following questions: • Where is the path increasing and decreasing? • Where is it concave up and down? • For each fall, where is the steepest descent and how steep is the angle? • Draw a graph of the slope of the path verses the distance along the ground from the start (graph the first derivative). • Draw a graph of the rate of change of the slope (graph the second derivative). • The thrill of the roller coaster is defined as the sum of the angle of steepest descent in each fall (in radians) plus the number of tops. Calculate the thrill of each coaster. • Approximate how fast your best roller coaster will travel, showing your assumptions and calculations

Chapter 5: Analyzing Functions Using Derivatives Learn how to predict the shape of any graph

We understand our world by observing change. In almost every field of study, an observer can collect data and analyze the change behavior of the situation. Knowing how something is changing over time allows the researcher to make prediction about the future and the past. Mathematicians can create models (or functions) of the rates of change data; and these can be used to discover the conditions that would optimize the situation. Optimization is a key application of the derivative.

EXPLORING THE BIG IDEA

In this chapter you should be able to: • Use derivatives to analyze properties of a function. • Solve problems involving optimization. • Understand and apply the Mean Value Theorem. • Connect the behavior of a differentiable function over an interval to the behavior of the derivative of that function at a particular point in the interval through the Mean Value Theorem.

Definition: Maximum, Minimum and Extreme Value

• An extreme value of a function f is called a relative (local) maximum if there is an open interval containing c on which f (c) is a maximum value.

• An extreme value of a function f is called a relative (local) minimum if there is an open interval containing c on which f (c) is a minimum value.

• If f ′(c) = 0 or if f’ is undefined at c, then c is called a critical point of f. © Edvantage Interactive 2025

Lagrange’s mean value theorem has a clear physical interpretation. If we assume that f(t) represents the position of a body moving along a line, f (b) − f (a ) depending on time t, then the ratio of is the average b−a velocity of the body in the period of time b – a. Since f ′(t ) is the instantaneous velocity, this theorem means that there exists a moment of time in which the instantaneous speed is equal to the average speed. © Edvantage Interactive 2025

Chapter 6: Solving Problems Using Derivatives

Figure out how fast things are changing, find the best way to do something, and even predict future values In the previous chapter we looked at using derivatives to determine information about graphs of functions and optimization problems. These are not the only applications for derivatives. We will also see how derivative can be used to solve the following types of problems:

Rates of Change – In this section you will take a look at problems that involve two quantities or variables. If the rate of change of one quantity, such as the height of water in a conical tank, changes with respect to time, how do you find the rate of change of the second quantity, the radius of the water in the tank, with respect to time?

Linear Approximations – In this section you will explore how to use the derivatives to compute a linear approximation to a function. You can use the linear approximation to a function to approximate values of the function at certain points. While it might not seem like a useful thing to do when you have the function, it is much easier to solve certain problems using a simpler “approximation”.

Differentials – In this section you will compute the differential for a function. You will use differentials to explore how much a change in one variable affects the amount of change in a second variable. For example Newton’s second law states that, for a rocket, the thrust is prodv dm . portional to the exhaust velocity and fuel burn rate, or m =u dt dt

Example 2: Solving Related Rates Problems When All Quantities are Changing In a high-speed chase, a police cruiser approaches a right-angled intersection from the north. The officers are chasing an escaped fugitive on a speeding motorcycle that has turned the corner and is now heading east. When the cruiser is 0.6 miles north of the intersection and the motorcycle is 0.8 miles east, the police officers determine with radar that the distance between them and the motorcycle is increasing at 20 mph. If the cruiser is moving at 60 mph at the instant of measurement, what is the speed of the fugitive?

Definition: Differential and linearization

• The differential, dy = f ′( x)dx is the principal change in a function dy relative to an infinitesimal change in the independent variable dx. • The linearization is a linear approximation model used to estimate a past or future value of an unknown function. The linearization uses a specific point on the function and the rate of change information at that point; thus, it is equivalent to the tangent line at the specific point. x) f (a ) + f '(a )(∆x) such that L(a + ∆x) ≈ f (a + ∆x) .

Unit 2 Project: Shrinking Lollipop This project compares the predicted rate of change of the radius of a lollipop to the actual rate of change. Test the hypothesis that the rate of change of the volume of a lollipop is proportional to its surface area. It seems reasonable that the rate of change of the volume of a lollipop would be proportional to its surface area, since the candy dissolves from the surface as you suck the lollipop. In mathematical terms, we predict that where k is a constant of proportionality. But is this prediction true? What can we learn, by mathematical deduction, about k, and how can we test this prediction experimentally?

Suck on the lollipop for one minute and measure the radius. Record your data. Repeat step 3 until the lollipop is gone or you reach candy of a different consistency (e.g. the inner nougat of the Tootsie Roll Pop). Note: it is important to suck on the lollipop the same from one trial to the next. If you suck especially vigorously on one trial but only lightly on the next, you won’t be able to interpret your results. Graph your results: radius (y-axis) vs time (x-axis).

Chapter 7: Antidifferentiation 385


Chapter 7: Antidifferentiation

If derivatives tell you how fast something is changing, antiderivatives help you figure out where it started. Differentiation allows us to determine how a function is changing. Most of the time, in real-world experiments, we collect data that measures change. We then try to determine a function, which is a derivative that represents the data. Once the derivative is known, we can use antidifferentiation to find the original function. Integration is like filling a tank from a tap. The input (before integration) is the flow rate from the tap. Integrating the flow (adding up all the little bits of water) gives us the volume of water in the tank. Imagine the flow starts at 0 and gradually increases (maybe a motor is slowly opening the tap). As the flow rate increases, the tank fills up faster and faster. With a flow rate of 2x, the tank fills up at x 2 . We have integrated the flow to get the volume. Example: with the flow rate in litres per minute, and the tank starting at t = 0 After 3 minutes x = 3:

• the flow rate has reached 2 x 2 3 6 liters/min, • and the volume has reached x=2 3=2 9 liters And after 5 minutes x = 5:

• the flow rate has reached 2 x 2 5 10 liters/min, • and the volume has reached x=2 5=2 25 liters EXPLORING THE BIG IDEA

In this chapter you should be able to: • Recognize antiderivatives of basic functions. • Calculate antiderivatives.

Chapter 8: Solving Differential Equations Add up infinitely small pieces to find the whole

There are many ways to model real-world situations mathematically. Differential equations describe how phenomena change. A differential equation is a mathematical model used to measure the change of a quantity that is determined by another quantity. There are a variety of solution techniques for these types of equations depending on the complexity of the equations involved. Differential equations are composed of several terms, just as conventional algebraic equations are. Consider the example of Yellow Fever in the body.

In vaccinology, scientists are interested in the changing of cells, molecules and virus concentrations with respect to time. The following equation is one that represents a model of the virus (V) for Yellow Fever. dV = π v (V ) H * −cvV − kvVAt dt Each of the variables represents a specific quantity that is being measured related to the Yellow Fever antibody.

There is one differential equation that you probably know. It is Newton’s Second Law of Motion. If an object of mass m is moving with acceleration a and being acted on with force F then Newton’s Second Law tells us.

F = ma To see that this is in fact a differential equation we need to rewrite it. First, remember that acceleration, a, can be written in one of two ways. a=

dv dt

Or

a=

d 2s dt 2

Where v is the velocity of the object and s is the position function of the object at any time t. We should also remember at this point that the force, F may also be a function of time, velocity, and/or position. Now Newton’s Second Law can be written as a differential equation in terms of either the velocity, v, or the position, s, of the object as follows. 2 dv Or F  t , s ds  = m ds F (t , v) = m   dt 2  dt  dt

Definition: Slope Field A slope field uses the idea of local linearity; that is, if a function is differentiable at a point, then the tangent line approximates the function close to that point. By drawing a slope field, we can graphically “see” the family of functions or the general solution to the given differential equation. The slope field is like the wind blowing through a field of grass. You can see the change behavior that the differential equation is describing. Then by choosing a starting point, an initial value, one can “determine” the particular solution. Some differential equations can only be solved by considering the slope field.

Definition: The Definite Integral (more formally)

Let f be a continuous function defined on a closed interval [a, b]. b−a Let the interval be subdivided into n intervals of equal length ∆x = . n As we increase the number of subdivisions, n → ∞ , and ∆x → 0 , we can use an infinite number of infinitely thin rectangular slices to calculate a more accurate approximation for the area under a curve by using a limit. The Riemann sum of all these rectangles calculates the area under the curve as follows, n

lim ∑ f (ci )∆x n →∞

i =1

where ci is an x-value chosen arbitrarily in the i th subinterval. Mathematicians chose new notation using the differential, ∆x ≈ dx , to write the definite integral of f over [a,b] as: n

b

i =1

a

lim ∑ f (ci )∆x =∫ f ( x)dx n →∞

If y = f(x) is integrable over a closed interval [a, b], then the area under the curve y = f(x) from a to b is the integral of f from a to b, b

Net Area = ∫ f ( x)dx a

The above statement is read “integral of f from a to b”. a lower limit of integration, b upper limit of integration, f(x) is the function of the integrand. ∫ the integral sign, dx is the variable of integration. Note: Use the app to explore this concept more. https://qrs.ly/t5gge2z

Definition: Mean Value Theorem for Integrals If f is a continuous function on [a, b], then there exists a number c in [a, b] such that: b

( x)dx f (c)(b − a ) ∫ f= a

The area under the graph of f from a to b is equal to the product of the interval length (b−a)and the average value f(c). The average value is the height of the area represented as a rectangle. The average value (mean value) of the rate of change function can be written and shown in two ways: f ′(c) =

b

1 f ′( x)dx b − a ∫a

f ′(c) =

f (b) − f (a ) b−a

You will recognize the first as the average value of f’ on [a, b], otherwise known as the average rate of change of f on [a, b]. The second, you will recognize from the mean value theorem as the average rate of change of f on [a, b]. Using the fundamental theorem of calculus, we can see how these two expressions are equivalent. b

1 1 = f ′( x)dx [ f (b) − f (a )] ∫ b−a a b−a =

f (b) − f (a ) b−a

Thus, if we are looking for the average rate of change for a function and we are given the derivative function, we use the mean value theorem for integrals f ′(c) =

Area of the Region Between Two Curves using Horizontal Partitioning To determine the area between two curves, using horizontal partitions (slices) the interval into n equal sub-intervals of ∆y . Use a rectangular area for each sub-interval with ∆y as the width and f ( yi ) − g ( yi ) as the length of the ith sub-interval. By taking the limit as n → ∞ , we can find the

exact area using the definite integral. Note, the region will be bounded on an interval that ranges between two y-values where y ∈ [c, d ] . n

10.4 Finding Volume Using the Washer Method Warm Up You are building an electric go-kart for a competition and your car is over the allowable weight. To make it lighter, you decide to hollow out the cylindrical steel frame. Consider a steel bar of length 1.4 meters and radius 20mm that weighs 9.87 kg/m. Determine the volume of the steel bar, its weight and then its density in kg/m3. Show the integral and calculations that lead to your solution. Include units in your answer.

The bar must weigh no more than 10 kg. You hollow out a cylindrical hole down the middle of the bar. What is the minimum radius required to remove enough material? Write an integral expression for the volume of the cylindrical hole created.

Use two integrals and the radii above to write an expression for the volume of the steel remaining in the bar.

10.5 Finding Volume Using Cross-Sectional Area Warm Up So far, we have been considering solids created by rotating a region around a line. Imagine taking a cross sectional slice of one of these solids, what does one of the slices look like? Write an expression for its volume.

Imagine another type of solid that is formed with a known cross-section. How can we find the volume of one of these solids? For example, consider a solid with a flat circular base, that has cross-sections perpendicular to the x-axis, that are squares of side length equal to the distance across the circular base at that point. Draw or build a solid that has these features.
