III. Introduction/Review/Content:

In our previous module, we discuss about the limit of a

function. Limit is the value that the function approaches as
the 𝑥 approaches a certain value.

Observe the figure in the left. Notice that the input 𝑥

approaches 𝑎. The graph of the function approaches a
point in which 𝑦 = 𝐿. 𝐿 will serve as the limit of the function
at 𝑥 = 𝑎.

This time, we will be dealing with the limit of the exponential, logarithmic, and trigonometric
functions, and special limits.

I. Find the limit of the following using the limit laws.

𝑥2 − 1
1. lim
𝑥→1 𝑥−1

In our example, we will solve the limit of a rational function. One way to check if the may
limit exist is by solving the value of the function at 𝑥 = 1, that is 𝑓(1).

Solve for 𝑓(1).

𝑓 (1) = (Substitution)
1−1

0
𝑓 (1) = 0 (Simplify)

0 (𝑥−1)2 0
Notice that 𝑓 (1) = 0. This implies that lim = 0 which means indeterminate (we cannot
𝑥→1 𝑥−1
yet determine if the limit exist or not). If the limit is indeterminate, you can use factoring or
rationalizing tom solve the limit.

𝑥 2 −1
We will simplify in such a way the denominator 𝑥 − 1 will be cancel out.
𝑥−1

𝑥 2 −1 (𝑥−1)(𝑥+1) (Expand (𝑥 2 − 1))

(Cancel out common factor)

(𝑥−1)(𝑥+1)
= lim
𝑥→1 𝑥−1
(Simplify)
= lim (𝑥 + 1)
𝑥→1

Notice that the denominator is being removed. We can now able to identify the limit of the
function.

lim (𝑥 + 1) = lim 𝑥 + lim 1 (Addition theorem)

Notice that 𝑓(1) = 0. This implies that lim = 0 which means indeterminate (we cannot

yet determine if the limit exist or not. If the limit is indeterminate), you can use factoring or
rationalizing tom solve the limit.

We will simplify in such a way the denominator √𝑥 − 1 will be cancel out.

𝑥2 − 1 𝑥 2 − 1 √𝑥 + 1 (Multiply

𝑙𝑖𝑚 = 𝑙𝑖𝑚 ∙ √𝑥−1 √𝑥+1

(𝑥 2 − 1)(√𝑥 + 1)

𝑥→1 (𝑥 − 1) fractions)

(𝑥 − 1)(𝑥 + 1)(√𝑥 + 1)
= 𝑙𝑖𝑚 (Expand (𝑥 2 − 1))
𝑥→1 (𝑥 − 1)
(𝑥 − 1)(𝑥 + 1)(√𝑥 + 1)

𝑥→1 (𝑥 − 1) (Cancel out common factor)

 9 9 9
Notice that 𝑓 (4) = 0. This implies that lim = 0 which is undefined. In this case, the limit
𝑥→4 √𝑥−2
of the function does not exist.

Therefore, lim 𝐷𝑁𝐸
