TEXTBOOK: Calculus of a Single Variable, Ninth Edition, by Larson & Edwards.

PREREQUISITES: Pre-Calculus (Including Trigonometry) or Equivalent.

CALCULATOR: TI-83/84+ graphing calculator (Not a TI-85,86,89,92)

ATTENDANCE: Attendance will be taken each class. Any student who is absent TWO TIMES
OR LESS will have their lowest test grade dropped.


CLASS PARTICIPATION: Please come to each class prepared with your textbook, notebook
(preferably a graph notebook), worksheets and calculator. Preparedness is essential to participation.
Please be prepared to participate in class at all times. Your grade will reflect your preparedness and
participation.

LATENESS: Please arrive to class on time and be ready to learn. Lateness is a distraction to the
class as a whole. Three times late equals one time absent.


HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENTS: Homework will be assigned at every class session. Be prepared
to hand in your work for a grade at any time. This may or may not be announced in advance.


TESTS: Tests will be scheduled with a reasonable amount of notice. Therefore, there will be no
make-ups allowed. A missed test will count as a drop unless you do not meet the attendance
requirement. In that case, a 0 will be factored into your grade.


GRADING POLICY: Final Exam 20%
Tests 40%
Quizzes/Tech Assignments 30%
Attendance/Participations 10%

COURSE WITHDRAWAL: Any student may withdraw from this course with a grade of W at
any time until Monday, June 11, 2012. After then, a student who does not complete the course will
receive a grade of F. The grades of WP, WF, and Incomplete are awarded only in exceptional
circumstances beyond the students control. This is in full compliance with WCC policy.

Continuity

A function is continuous at a point c in its domain if and only if the limit of the function as x approaches c is
equal to the value of the function at c, or mathematically

f(x) is continuous at c iff

A function is continuous at an endpoint if and only if the one sided limit at that endpoint equals the value of
the function there, or mathematically

f(x) is continuous at left end point a iff
f(x) is continuous at right end point b iff

Figure (a) gives an example of a continuous function at x = 0


At which points does the limit not exist or does the limit not equal the value on the graph below?


* Remember * A limit only exists if the left hand limit is equal to the right hand limit, or mathematically



There are various types of discontinuities:

14
a. Removable Discontinuities- These are discontinuities where the limit exists at a point, but it
doesnt equal the value of the function at that point. Figures (b) and (c) are examples of removable
discontinuities at x = 0.


The mathematical expression for a removable discontinuity is:




Lets see how to remove a discontinuity:



! undefined, but its an indeterminate form



So the limit exists, but does not equal the value of the function, making it a removable discontinuity.

So you can write an extended function, which is simply a function that fills in the hole (removable discount).


Method 1: Write a piecewise function Method 2: Rewrite as a new, simplified, function
(if possible)





15
b. Jump Discontinuities- These are discontinuities where the left and right hand limit at a point both
exist but are not equal to each other. Figure (d) is an example of a jump discontinuity at x = 0.

The mathematical expression for a jump discontinuity is:


Questions: Is f(x) = int x continuous on [ 0 , 2 ]?
How about the interval ( 0 , 1 )?


c. Infinite Discontinuities- These are discontinuities where the left and right hand limits at a point go
to positive or negative infinity. Figures (e) and 2.22 are examples of infinite discontinuities.

The Mathematical expression for an infinite discontinuity is:

d. Oscillating Discontinuities- These are the most difficult to define as they are simply functions which
oscillate around a point too much to have a limit at that point. Figure (f) is an example of an
oscillating discontinuity.

Two nonvertical lines in a plane are parallel if and only if their slopes are equal
