INTRODUCTION:
Calculus - is a branch of mathematics which uses derivative to analyze
the way in which the values of a function vary

5 Major Branches:
1. Differential Calculus
2. Integral Calculus
3. Differential Equations
4. Calculus of Variations
5. Calculus of Errors

Differential Calculus - is a branch of Calculus involving application


such as the determination of maximum and minimum points and rate of
change.

Functions and Limits:

Variable – a quantity which can have an unlimited number of


values

Constant – a quantity which has a fixed value


Notebook – soft bound A4 size bond paper with ______ cover
Portfolio – contains all your requirements, ________ clear book
Problem Sets – long bond paper with cover and border
FUNCTION:
A variable y is said to be a function of another variable x,
if to every value of x there is a corresponding value of y.
In symbols expressed as, y=f(x).
The variable x to which any value may be assigned is the
independent variable or argument, while y is the dependent
variable or function.

Classification of Functions:

1. Polynomial or Integral Rational Function


- simplest type of function
example;

2. Rational Function
- this is the quotient of two polynomials
example;
3. Algebraic Function
- the root of an equation of the nth degree of the
dependent variable whose coefficient are rational
function of the independent variable
example;

4. Transcendental Function
example;
Trigonometric
Logarithmic
Exponential
Hyperbolic
etc.

Limits:
Mathematically we say;
Let be a function of and let be a constant. If
there exist a number such that in order to make the value
of as close as as possible, it is sufficient to
choose as close to , but different from then the
limit of as approaches is

Theorems on Limits:

Theorem I: The limit of sum (or difference) of two or more


functions is equal to the sum (or difference) of their
limits
Theorem II: The limit of the product of two or more
functions is equal to the product of their limits

Theorem III: The limit of the quotient of two or more


functions is equal to the quotient of their limits provided

that the denominator is not equal to zero


Theorem IV:
Illustrative Problem

Determine the limits of the following functions


Problem Sets:
Determine the limits of the following;
