A limit asks what a function approaches, not what it equals. Try substitution first; if it gives 0/0, factor and cancel, or differentiate top and bottom (L'Hôpital). The graph shows the function near the point with the limit marked.
Çözümlü örnek · limit of sin(x)/x as x -> 0
Adım adım
- \lim_{x \to 0^+-} \frac{\sin{\left(x \right)}}{x}
Try direct substitution first.
- \frac{0}{0}
Substitution gives 0/0: an indeterminate form.
- \lim \frac{\cos{\left(x \right)}}{1}
L'Hôpital's rule: differentiate numerator and denominator separately.
- = 1
Substitute.

Sık sorulan sorular
What is a derivative in one sentence?
The slope of the graph at a point, the rate at which the output is changing there. Speed is the derivative of position.
What is an integral in one sentence?
The accumulated total of a rate: the area under the curve. Distance travelled is the integral of speed.
Why are derivatives and integrals opposites?
That is the fundamental theorem of calculus: accumulating a rate and then measuring how fast the accumulation grows gets you back the rate. Integration undoes differentiation up to a constant.
When do I use substitution and when integration by parts?
Substitution when part of the integrand is the derivative of another part (u and du both present). Parts when the integrand is a product of two unrelated kinds of function, a polynomial times an exponential, log or trig function.
