Evaluating Limits: Outline
- Limit Theorems
- Evaluating Limits
Evaluating Limits: Limit Theorems
- Uniqueness of Limits: If the limit of a function exists, it's unique. If the limit from the left and right equal different values, the limit does not exist.
- Limit of a Constant: The limit of a constant (c) as x approaches any value (a) is just the constant (c).
- Limit of Identity Function: The limit of the identity function (f(x) = x) as x approaches a value (a) is just that value (a).
- Limit of Sum and Difference: The limit of a sum or difference of functions is the sum or difference of the limits.
- Limit of Product: The limit of a product of two functions is the product of the limits of the functions.
- Limit of a Quotient: The limit of the quotient of two functions (f(x)/g(x)) is the quotient, of the limits provided the limit of the denominator is not zero.
- Limits of Power: The limit of a function raised to a power 'n' is the limit of the function raised to the same power('n').
- Limit of Root: The limit of the nth root of a function is the nth root of the limit of the function under the condition specified that when 'n' is even, lim f(x) ≥ 0 as 'x' approaches 'a'.
Evaluating Limits: Examples
- Provided numerous examples of evaluating limits using the above theorems
- Includes specific examples showing how to compute limits for a variety of functions.
- Covers scenarios where limits may take indeterminate forms, requiring further manipulation.
- Demonstrates solutions for limits of polynomial and rational functions at specific points.
