Limits

When it comes to calculus, limits are considered to be a very important topic of discussion. The main importance of limit lies in expressing the value of a function as it gets closer to a certain value. Also, limits can help you to understand other topic…

(a) Find the slope of the graph of y = f (x) at the point P = (0,1) by directly evaluating the limit: f'(0) = lim ( f(Ax) - f(0) Ax Ax→0 (b) Find the equation of the tangent line 1 to the graph of ƒ at P. What are the x and y intercepts of 1 ? (c) Find the equation of the line, n, through P that is perpendicular to the tangent line l. (Line n is called the normal line to the graph of f at P.) (d) Sketch a careful graph that displays: the graph of y = f (x), its vertex point, its tangent and normal lines at point P, and the x and y intercepts of these lines. Bonus: Find the coordinates of the second point, Q, (QP), at which the normal line n intersects the graph of f. 2.
