CHAPTER 02FUNCTIONS OF ONE VARIABLE
Definition
A function is rule that
assigns to each element sett and
a in ,
one
only
one element in
Seto
note that :
1) A and B need not be sets of real numbers

all
possible values of fcx) is called RANGE of f

f- ( x ) is continuous at x=xo
L -

L

If ( =/ L then

flx) is discontinuous
In most cases when [ + =L -
,
then flxo) =L
.
However this is not always true ,
consider :
fcx) = c-
not defined at x=0 but limit as ✗ → 0 does exist
In this case L + =L = 1

this is an example of in determinant form .
Limit can be found using L' Hospitals
rule the
or
by using power series for sink .
Function can be made continuous :

The derivative of C- ( x) ,
denoted Fx

point ✗ ☐
is defined by the limit :

provided

←
that the limit exists
as x → scot and ✗ → xj
A function for which such a limit exists is said to be differentiable at x=xo
The derivative can also be defined as a function of x :
n→o{ }
df f "

f' ( x ) = 1in
If f- ( x) f- ( x) continuously
'
is continuous in a
given interval
,
then is a differentiable
function in that interval
•
f differentiable implies f continuous ( smoothness implies continuous)
differentiable ( continuous does not smoothness)
f continuous does not
