Overview

Calculus is the branch of mathematics that deals with the study of change and motion. It helps us understand how quantities vary with respect to each other and provides tools to predict and analyze instantaneous changes. This chapter introduces the fundamental concepts of functions, limits, continui

Key Concepts

A function is a mathematical relationship

A function is a mathematical relationship between two variables where each input (independent variable) has exactly one output (dependent variable). W

Domain is the set of all

Domain is the set of all possible input values (x-values) for which a function is defined. Range is the set of all possible output values (y-values) t

Functions are classified into various types

Functions are classified into various types: Polynomial (f(x) = anxⁿ + ... + a₁x + a₀), Exponential (f(x) = aˣ), Logarithmic (f(x) = logₐx), Modulus (

The limit of a function f(x)

The limit of a function f(x) as x approaches a value 'a' is the value that f(x) gets closer to as x gets closer to 'a'. Written as lim(x→a) f(x) = L.

A function is continuous at point

A function is continuous at point x = a if the limit of the function as x approaches 'a' equals the function's value at 'a'. Mathematically: lim(x→a⁻)

Learning Objectives

  • Identify functions and determine their domain and range
  • Classify functions into different types (polynomial, exponential, logarithmic, modulus, greatest integer, signum)
  • Represent functions graphically and interpret graphs
  • Understand the concepts of limits and continuity
  • Connect instantaneous change with differentiation
