Section III. The basic concepts of mathematical analysis.

The concept of function.

Definition 1.1:A mathematical relation such that each element of a given set (the domain of function) is associated with a unique element of another set ( the range of function) is called a function and denote . is called independent variable, – dependent variable.

There are different methods of representation of functions, such that; tabular, analytical (be means of the formulas), graphical.

Definition 1.2:A set of points in the coordinate plane with coordinates is called the graph of a function .

 

Definition 1.3:If , and , then:

1) is increasing on if whenever ;

2) is nondecreasing on if, whenever ;

3) is decreasing on if whenever ;

4) is nonincreasing on if whenever .

Functions listed in 1) – 4) are called monotonous; 1), 3) are called strictly monotonous.

 

Definition 1.4:For any and , if , then a function is called an even function, if – an odd function.

Definition 1.5:Inverse function is a function obtained by expressing the dependent variable of one function as independent variable of another; functions and are mutually inverse functions if and .

Definition 1.6:Function defined on some set is called bounded on this set, if there is a positive number such that for any belonging to the set the inequality holds . Otherwise, the function is said to be unbounded.

 

Limit of a function.

Definition 2.1:The number is said to be the limit of the function as , if for all values , lying sufficiently close to , the corresponding values of the function are arbitrary close to the number

.

Definition 2.2:The number is called the limit of the function as , if for any positive number exists the positive number such, that for all , different from , and satisfying the inequality , implies the inequality .

 

Algebra of limits.

The follow rules hold if and .

1. Sum rule: ;

2. Difference rule: ;

3. Product rule: ;

4. Quotient rule: , if .

 

Let to prove the first rule. To show that we must show that , such that for all satisfying inequality implies

 

 

From

 

From

Let . It means that and hold for all such that

and we get

.

Rule is proved.

 

Infinitesimal and infinitely large functions.

Definition 4.1:Function is called an infinitesimal as , if This means that (however small) such that for all satisfying inequality , implies .

Definition 4.2:The inverse of an infinitesimal, that is, is an infinity large function. In this case we write .

It is possible from limit rules for functions to draw the corresponding propositions for infinitesimal functions:

1. A sum of any finite number of infinitesimals is an infinitesimal

2. The product of a bounded function and an infinitesimal is an infinitesimal.

3. The product of any finite number of infinitesimals is an infinitesimal
