Basic Cal Limits 1

This document provides an overview of limits in calculus. It defines a limit as describing the behavior of a function as it approaches a specific value. The limit is represented symbolically as the limit of a function f(x) as x approaches c equals L. Examples are provided to demonstrate calculating limits from the left and right sides. It is noted that the limit exists only if the left and right limits are equal, and that the limit of a function at c may not equal the actual value of the function at c.

Function
Calculus
A branch of mathematics that tackles the
topics about rates of change and dimensions.

Limits
- A fundamental concept of Calculus.
- The link between the gap of Algebra and
Calculus.
Limits of a Function
Limits of a function
It is describes/study the behaviour of the
function as it approaches or get closer to
a specific value.

 - In symbol of limits, we write this as where L


is the limit of the function f of a single
variable x as a x approaches c. we read this as
“ the limit of f(x) as x approaches c is L.
Example 1:

 
TABLE OF VALUES
X f(x) X f(x)
3 6 5 8
3.2 6.2 4.8 7.8
3.4 6.4 4.6 7.6
3.6 6.6 4.4 7.4
3.8 6.8 4.2 7.2
LEFT RIGHT

  li 𝑚 ( 𝑥 + 3) =7
𝑥 → 4
Example no.2
 
X f(x) X f(x)
1 1 3 9
1.2 1.44 2.8 7.84
1.4 1.96 2.6 6.76
1.6 2.56 2.4 5.76
1.8 3.24 2.2 4.84
LEFT RIGHT

  lim 𝑥2 = 4
𝑥 →2
Example 3:
 
x f(x) x f(x)
3 4 5 3
3.2 4.2 4.8 2.8
3.4 4.4 4.6 2.6
3.6 4.6 4.4 2.4
3.8 4.8 4.2 2.2
LEFT RIGHT

  = Does Not Exist ( DNE )


Take note:

   
If x approaches c from the left If x approaches c from the right

  lim 𝑓 ( 𝑥 )= 𝐿
𝑥 →𝑐

 
If and only if
Limit of a function at c v.s value of a function at c

  lim 𝑓 (𝑥 )
𝑥 →𝑐
  𝑓 (𝑐 )

 li  
𝑚 ( 𝑥+ 3)=7
𝑥→4

 lim 𝑥2 = 4  𝑓 ( 𝑐 ) =4
𝑥 →2

 lim 𝑓 (𝑥 )=𝐷𝑁𝐸  𝑓 ( 𝑐 ) =6
𝑥→ 4
2
 li 𝑚 (3 𝑥 − 3 )= ¿  li 𝑚 (5 𝑥 +3 )=¿
𝑥→4 𝑥→3
