Limit at a point of discontinuity.mp3
And just from an inspection, you can see that the function is not defined when x is equal to 3. You get 0 over 0. It's not defined. So to answer this question, let's try to rewrite the same exact function definition slightly differently. So let's say f of x is going to be equal to, and I'm going to think of two cases. ...
Limit at a point of discontinuity.mp3
So to answer this question, let's try to rewrite the same exact function definition slightly differently. So let's say f of x is going to be equal to, and I'm going to think of two cases. I'm going to think of the case when x is greater than 3 and when x is less than 3. So when x is, we'll do this in two different colo...
Limit at a point of discontinuity.mp3
So when x is, we'll do this in two different colors actually. When x, do it in green, that's not green. When x is greater than 3, what does this function simplify to? Well, whatever I get up here, I'm going to get a positive value up here. And then if I take the absolute value, it's going to be the exact same thing. So...
Limit at a point of discontinuity.mp3
Well, whatever I get up here, I'm going to get a positive value up here. And then if I take the absolute value, it's going to be the exact same thing. So for x is greater than 3, this is going to be the exact same thing as x minus 3 over x minus 3. Because if x is greater than 3, the numerator is going to be positive. ...
Limit at a point of discontinuity.mp3
Because if x is greater than 3, the numerator is going to be positive. You take the absolute value of that, you're not going to change its value. So you get this right over here. Or if we were to rewrite it, this is equal to, for x is greater than 3, you're going to have f of x is equal to 1 for x is greater than 3. Si...
Limit at a point of discontinuity.mp3
Or if we were to rewrite it, this is equal to, for x is greater than 3, you're going to have f of x is equal to 1 for x is greater than 3. Similarly, let's think about what happens when x is less than 3. When x is less than 3, well, x minus 3 is going to be a negative number. When you take the absolute value of that, y...
Limit at a point of discontinuity.mp3
When you take the absolute value of that, you're essentially negating it. So it's going to be the negative of x minus 3 over x minus 3. Or if you were to simplify these two things, for any value as long as x does not equal 3, this part right over here simplifies to 1, so you're left with a negative 1. Negative 1 for x ...
Limit at a point of discontinuity.mp3
Negative 1 for x is less than 3. I encourage you, if you don't believe what I just said, try it out with some numbers. Try out some numbers, 3.1, 3.001, 3.5, 4, 7, any number greater than 3, you're going to get 1. You're going to get the same thing divided by the same thing. And try values for x less than 3. You're goi...
Limit at a point of discontinuity.mp3
You're going to get the same thing divided by the same thing. And try values for x less than 3. You're going to get negative 1 no matter what you try. So let's visualize this function now. So now let me draw some axes. That's my x-axis. And then this is my f of x-axis.
Limit at a point of discontinuity.mp3
So let's visualize this function now. So now let me draw some axes. That's my x-axis. And then this is my f of x-axis. So y is equal to f of x. And what we care about is x is equal to 3. So x is equal to 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
Limit at a point of discontinuity.mp3
And then this is my f of x-axis. So y is equal to f of x. And what we care about is x is equal to 3. So x is equal to 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. We could keep going. And let's say this is positive 1, 2. So that's y is equal to 1.
Limit at a point of discontinuity.mp3
So x is equal to 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. We could keep going. And let's say this is positive 1, 2. So that's y is equal to 1. This is y is equal to negative 1 and negative 2, and we can keep going. So this way that we've rewritten the function is the exact same function as this. We've just written it a different way.
Limit at a point of discontinuity.mp3
So that's y is equal to 1. This is y is equal to negative 1 and negative 2, and we can keep going. So this way that we've rewritten the function is the exact same function as this.

Limit at a point of discontinuity.mp3
So if our x is greater than 3, our function is equal to 1. So it looks like that. And it's undefined at 3. And if x is less than 3, our function is equal to negative 1. So it looks like that. Let me do it in that same color. It looks like this.
Limit at a point of discontinuity.mp3
And if x is less than 3, our function is equal to negative 1. So it looks like that. Let me do it in that same color. It looks like this. Once again, it's undefined at 3. So it looks like that. So now let's try to answer our question.

Limit at a point of discontinuity.mp3
So in this case, if we start with values lower than 3, as we get closer and closer and closer, so say we start at 0, the f of x is equal to negative 1. We go to 1, f of x is equal to negative 1. We go to 2, f of x is equal to negative 1. If you go to 2.999999, f of x is equal to negative 1. So it looks like it is appro...
Limit at a point of discontinuity.mp3
If you go to 2.999999, f of x is equal to negative 1. So it looks like it is approaching negative 1 if you approach from the left-hand side. Now let's think about the limit of f of x as x approaches 3 from the positive direction, from values greater than 3. So here we see when x is equal to 5, f of x is equal to 1. Whe...
Limit at a point of discontinuity.mp3
So here we see when x is equal to 5, f of x is equal to 1. When x is equal to 4, f of x is equal to 1. When x is equal to 3.0000001, f of x is equal to 1. So it seems to be approaching positive 1. So now we have something strange. We seem to be approaching a different value when we approach from the left than when we a...
Limit at a point of discontinuity.mp3
So it seems to be approaching positive 1. So now we have something strange. We seem to be approaching a different value when we approach from the left than when we approach from the right. And if we're approaching two different values, then the limit does not exist. So this limit right over here does not exist. Or anot...
Limit at a point of discontinuity.mp3

The area of this first region right over here is 1. And then the area of the second region, we got negative 2. And so one way to interpret it is that your net area above the x-axis is negative 1.

Area between a curve and the x-axis negative area AP Calculus AB Khan Academy.mp3
Or another way to say it, your net area is negative 1. So it's taking the one region above the x-axis and then subtracting the two below it. So what the definite integral is doing when we evaluate it using the second fundamental theorem of calculus, it's essentially finding the net area above the x-axis. And if we get ...
Area between a curve and the x-axis negative area AP Calculus AB Khan Academy.mp3
And if we get a negative number, that means that the net area is that actually most of the area is below the x-axis. If we get 0, then that means it all nets out. And if you want to see a case at 0, take the integral from 0 all the way to 2 pi. And this will evaluate to 0 because you have an area of 1 and another area ...

And so I would say that this is f, then this is the derivative of that, which would make it f prime. And then we already established that this right graph is the derivative of the left one. So if it's the derivative of f prime, it's not f prime itself, it's the second derivative. So I feel pretty good about that. And j...
Connecting f, f', and f'' graphically (another example) AP Calculus AB Khan Academy.mp3
So I feel pretty good about that. And just for good measure, we could think about what the derivative of this graph would look like. Here the slope is slightly negative, but then it gets more and more and more and more and more negative. So the derivative would have a similar shape here. And then here, our derivative w...
Definite integrals intro Accumulation and Riemann sums AP Calculus AB Khan Academy.mp3
What we're going to do in this video is introduce ourselves to the notion of a definite integral. And with indefinite integrals and derivatives, this is really one of the pillars of calculus. And as we'll see, they are all related, and we'll see that more and more in future videos, and we'll also get a better appreciat...
Definite integrals intro Accumulation and Riemann sums AP Calculus AB Khan Academy.mp3
So let me draw some functions here. And we're actually gonna start thinking about areas under curves. So let me draw coordinate axes here. So that's my y-axis. This is my x-axis. Actually, I'm gonna do two cases. So this is my y-axis.
Definite integrals intro Accumulation and Riemann sums AP Calculus AB Khan Academy.mp3
So that's my y-axis. This is my x-axis. Actually, I'm gonna do two cases. So this is my y-axis. This is my x-axis. And let's say I have some function here. So this is f of x, right over there.
Definite integrals intro Accumulation and Riemann sums AP Calculus AB Khan Academy.mp3
So this is my y-axis. This is my x-axis. And let's say I have some function here. So this is f of x, right over there. And let's say that this is x equals a. And let me draw a line going straight up like that. And let's say that this is x equals b, just like that.
Definite integrals intro Accumulation and Riemann sums AP Calculus AB Khan Academy.mp3
So this is f of x, right over there. And let's say that this is x equals a. And let me draw a line going straight up like that. And let's say that this is x equals b, just like that. And what we want to do is concern ourselves with the area under the graph, under the graph of y is equal to f of x, and above the x-axis,...
Definite integrals intro Accumulation and Riemann sums AP Calculus AB Khan Academy.mp3
And let's say that this is x equals b, just like that. And what we want to do is concern ourselves with the area under the graph, under the graph of y is equal to f of x, and above the x-axis, and between these two bounds, between x equals a and x equals b. So this area right over here. And you can already get an appre...
Definite integrals intro Accumulation and Riemann sums AP Calculus AB Khan Academy.mp3
And you can already get an appreciation. We're not used to finding areas where one of the boundaries, or as we'll see in the future, many of the boundaries could actually be curves. But that's one of the powers of the definite integral, and one of the powers of integral calculus. And so the notation for this area right...
Definite integrals intro Accumulation and Riemann sums AP Calculus AB Khan Academy.mp3
And so the notation for this area right over here would be the definite integral. And so we're gonna have our lower bound at x equals a, so we'll write it there. We'll have our upper bound at x equals b, right over there. We're taking the area under the curve of f of x, f of x, and then dx. Now in the future, we're goi...
Definite integrals intro Accumulation and Riemann sums AP Calculus AB Khan Academy.mp3
We're taking the area under the curve of f of x, f of x, and then dx. Now in the future, we're going to, especially once we start looking at Riemann sums, we'll get a better understanding of where this notation comes from. This actually comes from Leibniz, one of the founders of calculus. This is known as the summa sym...
Finding absolute extrema on a closed interval AP Calculus AB Khan Academy.mp3
So it's a closed interval. It also includes 1 and it includes 4. You can view this as the domain of our function as we have defined it. So given this, given this information, this function definition, what I would like you to do is come up with the absolute maximum value of f. Where f is defined right over here, where ...

So given this, given this information, this function definition, what I would like you to do is come up with the absolute maximum value of f. Where f is defined right over here, where f is defined on this closed interval. I encourage you to pause this video and think about it on your own. So the extreme value theorem t...
Finding absolute extrema on a closed interval AP Calculus AB Khan Academy.mp3
And let's say we have some function that's defined on a closed interval. We have a couple of different scenarios for what that function might look like on that closed interval. So we might hit a maximum point. We might hit a maximum point at the beginning of the interval, something like that. We might hit an absolute m...
Finding absolute extrema on a closed interval AP Calculus AB Khan Academy.mp3
We might hit a maximum point at the beginning of the interval, something like that. We might hit an absolute maximum point at the end of the interval. So it might look something like this. So that's at the end of the interval. Or we might hit an absolute maximum point someplace in between. And that could look something...
Finding absolute extrema on a closed interval AP Calculus AB Khan Academy.mp3
So that's at the end of the interval. Or we might hit an absolute maximum point someplace in between. And that could look something like this. It could look like this. And at this maximum point, the slope of the tangent line is zero. So here, the derivative is zero. Or we could have a maximum point someplace in between...
Finding absolute extrema on a closed interval AP Calculus AB Khan Academy.mp3
It could look like this. And at this maximum point, the slope of the tangent line is zero. So here, the derivative is zero. Or we could have a maximum point someplace in between that looks like this. And if it looks like this, then here the derivative would be undefined. So we have a couple of different tangent lines t...
Finding absolute extrema on a closed interval AP Calculus AB Khan Academy.mp3
Or we could have a maximum point someplace in between that looks like this. And if it looks like this, then here the derivative would be undefined. So we have a couple of different tangent lines that you could place right over there. So what we need to do is let's test the different endpoints. Let's test the function a...
Finding absolute extrema on a closed interval AP Calculus AB Khan Academy.mp3
So what we need to do is let's test the different endpoints. Let's test the function at the beginning. Let's test the function at the end of the interval. And then let's see if there's any points where the derivative is either zero or the derivative is undefined. And these points where the derivative is either zero or ...
Finding absolute extrema on a closed interval AP Calculus AB Khan Academy.mp3
And then let's see if there's any points where the derivative is either zero or the derivative is undefined. And these points where the derivative is either zero or it's undefined, we've seen them before, we call these, of course, critical numbers. And this would be either in either case, actually if we assume that tha...
Finding absolute extrema on a closed interval AP Calculus AB Khan Academy.mp3
So those are the different candidates. Now you could have a critical number in between where, say, the slope is zero, say something like this, but it isn't the maximum or minimum. But what we can do is if we can find all the critical numbers, we can then test the function evaluated at the critical numbers and the funct...
Finding absolute extrema on a closed interval AP Calculus AB Khan Academy.mp3
All of those are the possible candidates for where f hits a maximum value. So first we could think about, well, actually, let's find the critical numbers first since we have to do it. So let's take the derivative of f. f prime of x is going to be equal to the derivative of natural log of x is 1 over x. So it's going to...
Finding absolute extrema on a closed interval AP Calculus AB Khan Academy.mp3
So it's going to be 8 over x minus 2x. And let's set that equal to zero. So if we focus on this part right over here, we could add 2x to both sides, and we would get 8 over x is equal to 2x. Multiply both sides by x. We get 8 is equal to 2x squared. Divide both sides by 2. You get 4 is equal to x squared.
Finding absolute extrema on a closed interval AP Calculus AB Khan Academy.mp3
Multiply both sides by x. We get 8 is equal to 2x squared. Divide both sides by 2. You get 4 is equal to x squared. And if we were just purely solving this equation, we would get x is equal to plus or minus 2. Now we're saying that the function is only defined over this interval, so negative 2 isn't part of its domain,...
