Plus, this book comes with access to chapter quizzes online.
Practice your way to a higher grade in Calculus!Calculus is a hands-on skill. You’ve gotta use it or lose it. And the best way to get the practice you need to develop your mathematical talents is Calculus: 1001 Practice Problems For Dummies.The perfect companion to Calculus For Dummies—and your class— this book offers readers challenging practice problems with step-by-step and detailed answer explanations and narrative walkthroughs.
Calculus Essentials For Dummies (9781119591207) was previously published as Calculus Essentials For Dummies (9780470618356). While this version features a new Dummies cover and design, the content is the same as the prior release and should not be considered a new or updated product. Many colleges and universities require students to take at least one math course, and Calculus I is often the chosen option.

The sandwich or squeeze method is something you can try when you can’t solve a limit problem with algebra. The basic idea is to find one function that’s always greater than the limit function (at least near the arrow-number) and another function that’s always less than the limit function.Both of your new functions must have the same limit as x approaches the arrow-number.

A limit problem asks you to determine what the y value of a function is zeroing in on as the x value approaches a particular number. With your calculator, you can solve a limit problem using graphing mode.To begin, enter the limit expression in graphing or “y =” mode, go to Table Setup, set Tblstart to the arrow-number, and setto something small like 0.

A limit problem asks you to determine what the y value of a function is zeroing in on as the x value approaches a particular number. You can solve a limit problem with your calculator using the arrow-number.First, store a number into x that’s extremely close to the arrow-number, enter the limit expression in the home screen, and hit enter.

In addition to solving limit problems numerically (with your calculator) and symbolically (with algebra), you should be able to solve limit and continuity problems visually. The following practice questions will test your skills.Use the following figure to answer the practice problems. A pretty bizarre graph. Practice questions f(5) = ?

A function is basically anything you can graph on your graphing calculator in “y =” or graphing mode. The line y = 3x – 2 is a function, as is the parabola y = 4x2 – 3x + 6. On the other hand, the sideways parabola x = 5y2 + 4y – 10 isn’t a function because there’s no way to write it as y = something. (Unless you write y = ± something, which doesn't count.
