• CHAPTER 1: REVIEW

• CORRECTIONS to Page 1.10: Example 7 deals with the square root function, not the squaring function. Also, -9 (instead of 9) is not in the domain of f.

ARCHIVE OF OLD HANDWRITTEN NOTES BASED ON SWOKOWSKI’S CLASSIC EDITION

CHAPTER 1: REVIEW

Chapter 1 (pdf)

Trig handouts:

1.3 Handout on Trig Identities (Part 1; I will hand this out in class.)

1.3 Handout on Trig Identities (Part 2; I will hand this out in class.)

CHAPTER 2: LIMITS AND CONTINUITY (EXPERIMENTAL TYPED NOTES)

Section 2.1 (pdf): Intro to Limits

Section 2.2 (pdf): Defining Limits

Section 2.3 (pdf): Finding Limits

Section 2.4 (pdf): Limits Involving Infinity

• SOME COMMENTS ON ASYMPTOTES AND HOLES:

Consider the graph of a function represented by y = f(x) in the standard xy-plane.

• We have a vertical asymptote (VA) at x=a if and only if f(x) approaches infinity or -infinity as x approaches a from the left or the right.

If f is a rational function, where f(x) is written as (polynomial)/(polynomial), then real zeros of the denominator correspond to VAs or holes (removable discontinuities). If c is a real zero of the denominator, and the limit form when x approaches c is of the form (nonzero real number)/0, then we have a VA at x = c. If, however, the limit form is 0/0, and the factors of the form (x-c) are completely canceled out in the denominator in the simplification process, then there is a removable discontinuity at x = c.

• We have a horizontal asymptote (HA) at y=L if and only if f(x) approaches L as x approaches infinity or -infinity. The graph of a rational function can have at most one HA; if there is a "long-run" limit in one direction, it must also be the long-run limit in the other direction.

Section 2.5 (pdf): Continuous Functions

• WHEN DOES f HAVE A JUMP DISCONTINUITY AT c? (2.5, A):

This happens if and only if the corresponding left-hand and right-hand limits exist, but they are unequal.

• NOTES ON IVT (2.5, D)

First sentence should end with "on [a,b]."
