Zeno of Elea (490-430 BC) paradoxes- O Achilles and the Tortoise OA is in a footrace with a slow T by 10*its speed. OA allows T a head start of 100 meters. OAfter A run 100 m,to T start point,meanwhile,T run 10 m. OA then run 10 m,and T has advanced farther; OA need more time to reach 3rd point,while T moves ahead. O Thus,whenever A reaches somewhere T has been,he still has farther to go.Therefore,as there are an infinite number of points A must reach where T has already been,he never overtake T
Zeno of Elea (490–430 BC) paradoxes- ⚫ Achilles and the Tortoise ： A is in a footrace with a slow T by 10* its speed. A allows T a head start of 100 meters. After A run 100 m, to T start point, meanwhile, T run 10 m. A then run 10 m, and T has advanced farther; A need more time to reach 3rd point, while T moves ahead. Thus, whenever A reaches somewhere T has been, he still has farther to go. Therefore, as there are an infinite number of points A must reach where T has already been, he never overtake T
Some Examples for Limit ●Value of a function ●Area Problem OGiven a function f;find the area between the graph of fand an interval on the x-axis ●Tangent Line Problem OGive a function f;and a point on its graph,find an equation of the line that is tangent to the graph at the point

Limit (An Informal View) If the value of f(x)can be made as close as we like to L by taking values of x sufficiently to a(not equal to a),then we write lim f(x)=L X->0 ●Read as: 0rf(x)>L,asx→a “the limit of f(x)as x approaches a is L.” ●Equivalently 1im(f(x)-L)=0
