Please could someone assist me with this question
Compute the limit of
lim t→∞ p(t)
where p(t) = M*exp(D*exp(c*t))
Compute the limit of
lim t→∞ p(t)
where p(t) = M*exp(D*exp(c*t))
Last edited by a moderator:
\( p(t) = M \cdot \exp (D \cdot \exp (c \cdot t) ) \)
Limits in mathematics refer to the value that a function or sequence approaches as its input or index approaches a certain point. They are important because they allow us to determine the behavior of a function or sequence at a particular point, even if it is undefined at that point. They also help us in evaluating complicated mathematical expressions and understanding the overall behavior of a function.
To solve tricky limits, it is important to understand the basic principles of limits and know the various techniques for evaluating them. This includes using algebraic manipulation, factoring, substitution, and trigonometric identities. It is also helpful to visualize the function and its behavior using graphs and tables. Practice and familiarity with different types of limits will also make it easier to solve tricky ones.
One common mistake is to assume that the limit exists just because the function is defined at that point. Another mistake is to cancel out terms that are not identical when evaluating limits. It is also important to check for continuity and any potential discontinuities at the point in question. Lastly, be careful when using trigonometric identities and make sure to apply them correctly.
L'Hôpital's rule states that the limit of a quotient of two functions can be evaluated by taking the limit of the derivatives of the numerator and denominator. It can be used when the limit has an indeterminate form, such as 0/0 or ∞/∞. However, it is important to note that l'Hôpital's rule should only be used as a last resort and not as a substitute for other techniques.
Yes, limits can be used to prove the continuity of a function. If the limit of a function exists at a point and is equal to the value of the function at that point, then the function is continuous at that point. This means that the function has no abrupt changes or jumps at that point. However, it is important to also check for the existence of the function at that point and whether it is defined in a neighborhood of that point.
