CN 6 Limits of Some Transcendental Functions

1) Transcendental functions include exponential, logarithmic, and trigonometric functions. The limit of an exponential function as x approaches c is equal to b raised to the function value at c. The limit of a logarithmic function is the logarithm of the function value at c. 2) For trigonometric functions, the limit of sin x, cos x, tan x, sec x, csc x, and cot x as x approaches c is equal to the respective trigonometric function of c. 3) Some specific trigonometric limits include the limit of sin x/x as x approaches 0 equals 1, and the limit of (tan x + cot

Concept Note No. 6: Limit of Some Transcendental Functions


 Transcendental Functions are functions that includes exponential, logarithmic, and trigonometric
functions.

 Limit of Exponential Function:


lim bf (x )=b f (c )
x →c
f (x) f (c)
lim e =e , for natural exponential functions.
x →c

2 x−3
Example1: lim (3 +5)
x→ 4

lim ( 3 +5 ) =f ( 4 )
2 x−3

x→ 4
2 x−3
f ( 4 ) =3 +5
2 ( 4) −3
¿3 +5
8−3
¿ 3 +5
¿ 35 +5
¿ 248
x
Example 2: lim e
x→ 0
x
lim e =f ( 0 )
x →0

f ( 0 )=e 0 , any number raised to zero the answer is 1, therefore;

 Limit of Logarithmic Function


lim log b f ( x )=log b f (c )
x →c
lim ln f ( x )=ln f (c ) , for natural logarithmic functions.
x →c
 Where f ( c ) >0

Example 1: lim
x →1
ln x
lim ln x=f ( 1 )
x →1
f ( 1 ) =ln 1
¿0

Example 2: lim log 3 (3 x +2 x−4)
x →5
lim f ( x )=f ( 5 )
x →5

f ( 5 )=log 3 [ 3 ( 5 ) + 2 x−4 ]

¿ log 3 [ 3 ( 25 ) +10−4 ]
¿ log 3 ( 75+10−4 )
¿ log 3 81
¿4

 Limit of Trigonometric Functions


lim sin x =sin c lim cos x=cos c
x →c x →c
lim tan x=tan c lim sec x=sec c
x →c x →c
lim csc x =csc c lim cot x =cot c
x →c x →c

 Other Trigonometric Limit Theorems


sin x 1−cos x tan x
lim =1 lim =0 lim =1
x →0 x x →0 x x →0 x

lim ( tan x¿+ co t x)¿
