The Limit of a Function

Franz A. Mag-usara
SHS Math Faculty
To illustrate, let’s consider

Approaching 2 from its left

Note: The values to be chosen


should be close to 2.
Approaching 2 from its right.
What have you observe
from the tables?

• As the values of x get closer to 2, the


values of f(x) get closer and closer to 7.

Note: The values to be chosen


should be close to 2.
For the graph.

The same can be seen from the right.


To graph.

The same can be seen from the left.


Another example:

We cannot plug in x=2 because it will make the function undefined.


table
From the right. From the left.
Does it apply to all that given a limit of a
function, as x approaches to c. The
answer is f(c)? Why?
It applies here.

LIMIT THEOREMS
The Constant Multiple Theorem

• This says that the limit of a multiple of a function is


simply that multiple of the limit of the function
The Addition/Subtraction Theorem
• The limit of a sum of functions is the sum of the limits of the
limits of the individual functions. The limit of a difference of
functions is the difference of their limits.
Multiplication Theorem

• The limit of a product of functions is equal to the


product of their limits.
Division Theorem

• The limit of a quotient of functions is equal to the


quotient of the limits of the individual functions,
where the denominator limit is not equal to zero.
Because the limit DNE(Does Not Exist).
Power Theorem
• The limit of an integer power p of a function is
just that power of the limits of the function
For example:
Radical/Root Theorem

• The limit of the nth root of a function is the nth root of the limit of
the function, provided the nth root of the limit is a real number.
If n is even, the limit of the function must be positive.
For example:
