Applications
A company that manufactures computers has established that, on the average, anew employee can assemble N (t ) components per day after t days of on-the-job training, as given by N (t ) = 50t t +4 t 0.
Sketch a graph of N , 0 t 100, including any vertical or horizontal asymptotes. What does N (t ) approach as t increases without bound?

Example
Break-even analysis The research department in a company that manufactures AM/FM clock radios established the price-demand, cost and revenue functions: p (x ) = 50 1.25x C (x ) = 160 + 10x R (x ) = xp (x ) where x is in thousand dollars of units and C (x ) and R (x ) are in thousand of dollars. All three functions have domain 1 x 40.

Example
(A) Graph the cost function and the revenue function. (B) Determine when R = C , R < C and R > C to the nearest unit. (C) Determine the maximum revenue (to the nearest thousand dollars) and the output (to the nearest unit) that produces the maximum revenue. What is the wholesale price of the radio at this output?

Example
One leukemic cell injected into a healthy mouse will divide into 2 cells in about 1/2 day. At the end of the dy these 2 cells divide into 4. This doubling continues until 1 billion cells are formed; then the animal dies with leukemic cells in every part of the body. (A) Write an equation that will give the number N of leukemic cells at the end of t days. (B) When, to the nearest day, will the mouse die?

lim f (x ) = L
if given any > 0, however small, there exists a > 0 such that if 0 < |x c | < then |f (x ) L| < .

Denition
(informal) We write
x c
lim = L
or
f (x ) L as x c
if the functional value f (x ) is close to the single real number L whenever x is close, but not equal, to c (on either side of c ). Note: The existence of a limit at c ahs nothing to do with the value of the function at c . In fact, c may not even be in the domain of f . However, the function must be dened on both sides of c .
