Introductory Message

This Self-Learning Module (SLM) is prepared so that you, our dear learners,
can continue your studies and learn while at home. Activities, questions, directions,
exercises, and discussions are carefully stated for you to understand each lesson.
Each SLM is composed of different parts. Each part shall guide you step-by-
step as you discover and understand the lesson prepared for you.
Pre-tests are provided to measure your prior knowledge on lessons in each
SLM. This will tell you if you need to proceed on completing this module or if you need
to ask your facilitator or your teacher’s assistance for better understanding of the
lesson. At the end of each module, you need to answer the post-test to self-check your
learning. Answer keys are provided for each activity and test. We trust that you will be
honest in using these.
In addition to the material in the main text, Notes to the Teacher are also
provided to our facilitators and parents for strategies and reminders on how they can
best help you on your home-based learning.
Please use this module with care. Do not put unnecessary marks on any part
of this SLM. Use a separate sheet of paper in answering the exercises and tests. And
read the instructions carefully before performing each task.
If you have any questions in using this SLM or any difficulty in answering the
tasks in this module, do not hesitate to consult your teacher or facilitator.
Thank you.

This module was designed to provide you with fun and meaningful opportunities for
guided and independent learning at your own pace and time. You will be enabled to process
the contents of the learning resource while being an active learner.

The module is intended for you compute the limits of exponential, logarithmic, and
trigonometric functions using tables of values and graphs of the function; and illustrate limits
sin 𝑡 1−cos 𝑡 𝑒 𝑡 −1
involving the expressions , and using tables of values.
𝑡 𝑡 𝑡

Functional relationships are also applied in real world situations, specifically in


mathematical models. These mathematical models play an important role in applications of
calculus.
There are also other functions, called transcendental, which are very useful both in
theory and practice.
By definition, “transcendental function is any function of x which is not algebraic”,
(Woods & Bailey, 1917). The basic transcendental functions includes the exponential,
logarithmic and trigonometric functions.

I. EVALUATING LIMITS OF EXPONENTIAL FUNCTION

Consider the natural exponential function 𝑓 (𝑥 ) = 𝑒 𝑥 , where 𝑒 is called the


Euler number, and has the value of 2.718281….

Illustrative Example 1. Evaluate the lim 𝑒 𝑥 .


𝑥→0
Solution:

There are two means to evaluate the limit of the function: through table of
values and by graphical approach.

i. through tables of values:

Construct the table of values for 𝑓 (𝑥 ) = 𝑒 𝑥 . We will do so by


approaching the number 0 from the left or through the values less than but
close to 0, and by approaching the number 0 from the right or through the
values greater than but close to 0.

Approaching 0 from the left:


𝑥 𝑓 (𝑥 ) = 𝑒 𝑥
-1 0.36787944117
-0.5 0.60653065971
-0.1 0.90483741803
-0.01 0.99004983374
-0.001 0.99900049983
-0.0001 0.999900049983
-0.00001 0.99999000005

Intuitively, as ⁡𝑥 approaches to 0 from the left, 𝑓 (𝑥 ) = 𝑒 𝑥

3 NegOr_Q3_Basic Calculus11_Module2_v2
is approaching to 1. Therefore, the limit of 𝑓 (𝑥 ) = 𝑒 𝑥 as 𝑥 approaches to
zero from the left, is 1..

Approaching 0 from the right:


𝑥 𝑓 (𝑥) = 𝑒 𝑥
1 2.71828182846
0.5 1.6487212707
0.1 1.10517091808
0.01 1.01005016708
0.001 1.00100050017
0.0001 1.000100005
0.00001 1.00001000005

Intuitively, as ⁡𝑥 approaches to 0 from the right, 𝑓 (𝑥 ) is approaching


to 1.

Therefore, the limit of 𝑓 (𝑥 ) = 𝑒 𝑥 is 1 as 𝑥 approaches to zero from


the right.
From the table, as the values of 𝑥 get closer and closer to 0, the values
of 𝑓 (𝑥 ) get closer and closer to 1.Combining the two sided limits, we have,
lim 𝑒 𝑥 = 1.
𝑥→0

ii. through a graph:

To determine the lim 𝑒 𝑥 , use the graph 𝑓 (𝑥 ) = 𝑒 𝑥 .


𝑥→0

𝑓 (𝑥) = 𝑒 𝑥

Through inspection of the figure, as the value of x approaches to 0


either from the left or from the right, 𝑓 (𝑥) gets closer and closer to 1.
Therefore, using the graph of 𝑓 (𝑥 ) = 𝑒 𝑥 through a graph, lim 𝑒 𝑥 = 1.
𝑥→0

4 NegOr_Q3_Basic Calculus11_Module2_v2
II. EVALUATING LIMITS OF LOGARITHMIC FUNCTION

Consider the natural logarithmic function 𝑓 (𝑥 ) = ln 𝑥. Recall that


ln 𝑥 = log 𝑒 𝑥. Moreover, ln 𝑥 is the inverse of the natural exponential function
𝑓 (𝑥 ) = 𝑒 𝑥 or 𝑦 = 𝑒 𝑥 .

Illustrative Example . Evaluate the lim ln 𝑥.


𝑥→1
Solution
We will evaluate the limit through constructing the tables of values.

Construct the table of values for 𝑓 (𝑥 ) = ln 𝑥. We start by approaching the


number 1 from the left or through the values less than but close to 1, and then
approach the number 1 from the right or through the values greater than but close
to 1.

Approaching 1 from the left:


𝑥 𝑓 (𝑥 ) = ln 𝑥
0.1 -2.30258509299
0.5 -0.69314718056
0.9 -0.10536051565
0.99 -0.01005033585
0.999 -0.00100050033
0.9999 -0.0001000005
0.99999 -0.00001000005
Intuitively, as ⁡𝑥 approaches to 1 from the left, 𝑓 (𝑥 ) is approaching to 0.
Therefore limit of 𝑓 (𝑥 ) = ln 𝑥 is 0 as x approaches to 1 from the left.

Approaching 1 from the right:


𝑥 𝑓 (𝑥 ) = ln 𝑥
2 0.69314718056
1.5 0.4054651081
1.1 0.0953101798

1.0001 0.000099995
1.00001 0.00000999995

Intuitively, as ⁡𝑥 approaches to 1 from the right, 𝑓 (𝑥 ) is approaching to 0.


Therefore limit of 𝑓 (𝑥 ) = ln 𝑥 is 0 as x approaches to 1 from the right.
From the table, as the values of x get closer and closer to 1, the values of
𝑓 (𝑥 ) get closer and closer to 0. Combining the two sided limits, hence,
lim ln 𝑥 = 0.
𝑥→1

5 NegOr_Q3_Basic Calculus11_Module2_v2
Illustrative Example 3. Evaluate the lim log 𝑥.
𝑥→1
Solution:
Since, by common logarithmic function
𝑓 (𝑥 ) = log10 𝑥.
( )
Recall that 𝑓 𝑥 = log10 𝑥 = log 𝑥. Using tables of values, we can
determine the lim log 𝑥.
𝑥→1

Through tables of values:


We shall construct the table of values for 𝑓 (𝑥 ) = log 𝑥.

Approaching 1 from the left:


𝑥 𝑓 (𝑥) = log 𝑥
0.1 -1
0.5 -0.30102999566
0.9 -0.04575749056
0.99 -0.0043648054
0.999 -0.00043451177
0.9999 0.00004343161
0.99999 0.00000434296
Intuitively, as ⁡𝑥 approaches to 1 from the left, 𝑓 (𝑥 ) is approaching to 0.
Therefore limit of 𝑓 (𝑥 ) = log 𝑥 is 0 as x approaches to 1 from the left.

Approaching 1 from the right:


𝑥 𝑓 (𝑥 ) = log 𝑥
2 0.3010299956
1.5 0.17609125905
1.1 0.04139268515
1.01 0.00432137378
1.001 0.00043407747
1.0001 0.00004342727
1.00001 0.00000434292

Intuitively, as ⁡𝑥 approaches to 1 from the right, 𝑓 (𝑥 ) is approaching to 0.


Therefore limit of 𝑓 (𝑥 ) = log 𝑥 is 0 as x approaches to 1 from the right.
From the table, as the values of x get closer and closer to 1, the values of
( )
𝑓 𝑥 get closer and closer to 0. Combining the two sided limits, hence,
lim log 𝑥 = 0.
𝑥→1

6 NegOr_Q3_Basic Calculus11_Module2_v2
Then, we shall verify the limit values in Example 2 and Example 3 by
graphical approach.

Illustrative Example 4. Evaluate the lim ln 𝑥 and lim log 𝑥.


𝑥→1 𝑥→1
Through a graph:
The graphs of both the natural and common logarithmic functions can be
used to determine the limits as 𝑥 approaches to 1.

By inspecting the graph, we can see that lim ln 𝑥 = 0 and lim log 𝑥 = 0
𝑥→1 𝑥→1

III. EVALUATING LIMITS OF TRIGONOMETRIC FUNCTIONS

Illustrative Example 5. Evaluate the lim sin 𝑥.


𝑥→0
Solution
We shall evaluate lim sin 𝑥 by using tables of values and graphical
𝑥→0
approach.

Through tables of values:


Construct the table of values for 𝑓 (𝑥 ) = sin 𝑥. We start by approaching the
number 0 from the left or through the values less than but close to 0, and
approaching the number 0 from the right or through the values greater than but
close to 0.

Approaching 1 from the left:


𝑥 𝑓 (𝑥 ) = sin 𝑥
-1 -0.8414709848
-0.5 -0.4794255386
-0.1 -0.09983341664

-0.0001 -0.00009999999
-0.00001 -0.00000999999
Intuitively, as ⁡𝑥 approaches to 0 from the left, 𝑓 (𝑥 ) is approaching to 0.
Therefore, the limit of 𝑓 (𝑥 ) = sin 𝑥 is 0 as x approaches to 0 from the left.

7 NegOr_Q3_Basic Calculus11_Module2_v2
Approaching 0 from the right:
𝑥 𝑓 (𝑥 ) = sin 𝑥
1 0.8414709848
0.5 0.4794255386
0.1 0.09983341664

0.001 0.00099999983
0.0001 0.00009999999
0.00001 0.00000999999

Intuitively, as ⁡𝑥 approaches to 0 from the right, 𝑓 (𝑥 ) is approaching to 0.


Therefore limit of 𝑓 (𝑥 ) = sin 𝑥 is 0 as x approaches to 0 from the right.
From the table, as the values of x get closer and closer to 0, the values of
𝑓 (𝑥 ) get closer and closer to 0. Combining the two sided limits, hence,
lim sin 𝑥 = 0.
𝑥→0

B. Through a graph:
We can also find lim sin 𝑥 by using the graph of the sine function.
𝑥→0
Consider the graph of 𝑓 (𝑥 ) = sin 𝑥

Figure 1: Graph of a sine function

By inspecting, as the value of 𝑥 approaches to zero from either left or right


of it, 𝑓(𝑥) approaches to 0. Thus, lim sin 𝑥 = 0
