Difference?!

1. the difference between the limit of x=c and plugging in x=c is that, taking the limit of something is when the point is being approached from the negative and positive ends, and there may be many different answers. But plugging in x=c you have one exact answer for the function.

2. the similarity of finding the derivative and the slope of a line is that you are really finding the slope of a line on both. the derivative is finding a slope of a curve but to do that you need to find the slope of the tangent line for the function. the difference is that for the derivative you are actually finding the slope of a curve.

Limits

I didnt really understand the limits of sinx and cosx and how you get there answers. but i do understand that when you have x approaching any number that you plug it in . also i really dont understand the limits of tangent and how to find an interval. Im also having trouble of the continuity .

Colleges

3 Majors.
  1. Design and Applied Arts:
    this major i would like to take because i like drawing cartoons and anything else when i am bored so i would like to take this to learn more abt art.
  2. Business: i dont know what exactly i would like to learn in the business category but i would want to learn more abt management, real estate, and more .
  3. Engineering: in mechanical engineering i can learn about the machines that bring convenience and excitement to our lives. i want to study the physics that make roller coasters loop and planes fly. They learn about the properties of materials that can withstand the heat of the sun and the cold of outer space. And they discover the secrets behind control systems such as the cruise control in the family car.

3 colleges:i Dont know what college i would like to attend but i have visited 2 or 3 at the most and would like to visit the campus on other colleges to see what i can also learn in those colleges.
