Analysis of Graphs1. y = x3 – 27A) Find the zerosB) Find the local max and min
points• These are points that have either the
largest, or smallest y value in a particular region, or neighbourhood on the graph.
x = 3
• There are no local max or min points

• Rational Functions are not continuous graphs.
• There various types of discontinuities.– There vertical asymptotes which occur
when only the denominator (bottom) is zero.
– There are holes in the graph when there is zero/zero

Limit of a Function• The limit of a function tells how a
function behaves near a certain x-value.
• Suppose if I wanted to go to a certain place in Canada.
• We would use a map
![Page 22: Advanced Mathematics 3208 Unit 2 Limits and Continuity](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102908/56649e3f5503460f94b2fd21/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Consider:• If we have a function
y = f(x) and we are trying to find out what the value of the function is for a x-value under the shaded area, we could make an estimate of what it would be by looking at the function before it goes into or leaves the shaded area.
Guess what the function value is at x = 3
![Page 23: Advanced Mathematics 3208 Unit 2 Limits and Continuity](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102908/56649e3f5503460f94b2fd21/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
23
• The smaller the shaded area can be made, the better the approximation would be.
Guess what the function value is at x = 3
![Page 24: Advanced Mathematics 3208 Unit 2 Limits and Continuity](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102908/56649e3f5503460f94b2fd21/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

Guess what the function value is at x = 3

Mathematically speaking:
• As x gets close to a, f(x) gets close to a value L
• This can be written:
• It means “The limit of f(x) as x approaches a equals L
lim ( )x a
f x L
Note: This is not multiplication.
![Page 27: Advanced Mathematics 3208 Unit 2 Limits and Continuity](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102908/56649e3f5503460f94b2fd21/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
27
• We can get values of f(x) to be arbitrarily close to L by looking at values of x sufficiently close to a, but not equal to a.
• It does not matter if f(a) is defined.• We are only looking to see what happens
to f(x) as x approaches a

Using the table and graph as a guide, answer following questions:
• What value is f (x) approaching as x becomes a larger positive number?
• What value is f (x) approaching as x becomes a larger negative number?
• Will the value of f (x) ever equal zero? Explain your reasoning.

Solving Limits Using Algebra
• There are 7 limit laws which basically allow you to do direct substitution when finding limits.
• Examples:Evaluate and justify each step by indicating the appropriate Limit Law

• However, there are a few cases (mostly in math courses) where direct substitution does not work immediately, or at all.
![Page 65: Advanced Mathematics 3208 Unit 2 Limits and Continuity](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102908/56649e3f5503460f94b2fd21/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)

• In this case direct substitution would give an answer of ___– which is not correct.
• Remember the limit shows what the function is approaching as x approaches a value.
• It does not matter what the actual function value is at that x value.

Examples
1.Direct substitution gives
which is undefined.• In this case the limit will not work
because the x value the limit is approaching is not in the domain of the function.

Examples2.
Direct substitution gives which is undefined.
• In this case direct substitution will not work because the x value the limit is approaching is not in the domain of the function.
• However, as we will see later this one would not be DNE. Here we say that:

• Whenever you get , this means there is some simplification you can do to the function before you do the direct substitution.

What is meant by a continuous function?
• A curve that can be drawn without taking your pencil from the paper.
• Which letters of the alphabet are the result of continuous lines?
![Page 84: Advanced Mathematics 3208 Unit 2 Limits and Continuity](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102908/56649e3f5503460f94b2fd21/html5/thumbnails/84.jpg)
What functions are continuous?• Polynomials
• These are continuous everywhere
• Rational Functions • These are continuous for all values of x
except for the roots of g(x) = 0.• In other words it is continuous for all
values in the domain

• We need a way of defining continuity to know whether or not a function is discontinuous or continuous at a point.
• Definition: A function y = f(x) is continuous at a number b, if
lim ( ) ( )x b
f x f b
![Page 88: Advanced Mathematics 3208 Unit 2 Limits and Continuity](https://reader038.vdocuments.site/reader038/viewer/2022102908/56649e3f5503460f94b2fd21/html5/thumbnails/88.jpg)
This can be broken into 3 parts
1. f(b) is defined (It exists) • b is in the domain of f(x)
2. exists.• In other words

• We need to check x = -1 and x = 1.• Do we need to check x = 0?
– NO! In 1/x, x=0 is not in x < -1

• The function sin(1/x) is not defined
at x = 0 so it is not continuous at
x = 0. • The function also oscillates
between -1 and 1 as x approaches 0. – Therefore, the limit does not exist.
