WS Limits and Continuity
AP Calculus BC – Chapter 2 Test Topics Evaluate limits From a graph (including left- and right-sided limits By using a table Algebraically When a limit DNE because the one-sided limits are different, state both one-sided limits and state that they are not equal before stating the limit DNE.
AP Calculus BC – Chapter 2 Test Topics Evaluate limits (continued) one-sided limits; involving special trigonometric functions.
AP Calculus BC – Chapter 2 Test Topics Evaluate limits (continued) Use the ε - δ definition to find δ for a given ε.
AP Calculus BC – Chapter 2 Test Topics Continuity. Know and use the Definition of Continuity: 1. is defined; 2. exists (explicitly state this); Both one-sided limits must be stated before this can be determined. 3. ∴ f (x) is x = c.
AP Calculus BC – Chapter 2 Test Topics Continuity (continued) Know which functions are always continuous and their domains. Polynomial functions Rational functions Radical functions Trigonometric functions
AP Calculus BC – Chapter 2 Test Topics Continuity (continued) Algebraically determine points of discontinuity. Removable and nonremovable. Gaps, holes, asymptotes Use and apply the Intermediate Value Theorem. i. The function is continuous; ii. f (a) < k < f (b). ∴, by the IVT, there exists a c in [a, b] such that f (c) = k.
AP Calculus BC – Chapter 2 Test Topics Trigonometry Values of all six trig functions at each special angle of the unit circle. Double-angle formulas for sine and cosine. Prove identities. Do not use identities to prove identies!
AP Calculus BC – Chapter 2 Test Topics What to study: Your Notes PowerPoints (they will be updated) Assignments Worksheets
AP Calculus BC – Chapter 2 Test Topics The test will be part with calculator and part without. Remember: The key to success is to communicate what you know, not just get a correct answer. Suggestion: Get together with a study group – there is power in numbers! Questions?
