Tis concept is especiall important in te stud o calculus. In everda lie we use te term limit to describe a restriction put on a quantit. For eample, te legal blood alcool concentration limit or a driver is normall.5 g/ ml. As te number o standard alcoolic drinks consumed in our approaces, te average adult s blood alcool concentration approaces.5. Likewise, some time ater a celebration, a person wo as been drinking eavil at an earlier time ma ave a blood alcool concentration wic is approacing te legal limit o.5 rom a iger level, as te number o drinks not et metabolised b teir bod approaces. We could sa tat as te number o standard drinks remaining in te bod approaces, te blood alcool concentration approaces.5. In essence te blood alcool concentration is a unction, sa (), o te number o drinks,, remaining in te bod. mats Quest matematical metods Cas or te Casio Classpad
