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
PRE-ASSESSMENT
Evaluate the following limits by constructing table of values.
1. lim 3𝑥
𝑥→1
2. lim 5𝑥

PRIOR-KNOWLEDGE:
Let us recall some of the limit laws we have learned in the past lesson.
LIMIT LAWS:
Suppose that c is a constant and the limits
lim 𝑓(𝑥) and lim 𝑔(𝑥) exist, then
𝑥→𝑎 𝑥→𝑎
𝑓 (𝑥 ) lim 𝑓(𝑥)
𝑥→𝑎
5. lim 𝑔(𝑥) = , if lim 𝑔(𝑥) ≠ 0
𝑥→𝑎 lim 𝑔(𝑥) 𝑥→𝑎
𝑥→𝑎
7. lim 𝑐 = 𝑐
𝑥→𝑎
8. lim 𝑥 = 𝑎
𝑥→𝑎

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

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

II. EVALUATING LIMITS OF LOGARITHMIC FUNCTION
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
6 NegOr_Q3_Basic Calculus11_Module2_v2
Then, we shall verify the limit values in Example 2 and Example 3 by
graphical approach.
By inspecting the graph, we can see that lim ln 𝑥 = 0 and lim log 𝑥 = 0
𝑥→1 𝑥→1

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