    Lyka Angela Palmes
    This lesson plan covers determining limits of rational functions. It includes 6 objectives to be solved using tables of values and rules to determine infinite limits without tables. Examples are provided to illustrate the rules. The rules state that if the numerator approaches 0 through positive values and the denominator approaches 0 through negative values, the limit is positive infinity, and vice versa for negative infinity. The degree of the numerator and denominator also determines the limit. Learners will practice applying the rules to solve limits of various rational functions.

    Semi detailed Lesson Plan

    I. Title: Limits of Rational Functions

    II. Objectives:
    At the end of the lesson, students must have:
    1. determined limit of rational functions

    III. Time Allotment:


    2 hours

    IV. Materials Needed:


    Calculator

    V. Activity/Development of the Lesson


    • Solve the limits of the functions using table of values
    • Formulate rules that can be used to determine the infinite limits without using the table of
    values
    −1 −1 1
    1. lim 2. lim 3. lim+
    x→0 x x→0 x2 x→2 x-2

    1 1 1
    4. lim− x−2 4. lim x−2 6. lim (x−3)2
    x→2 x→2 x→3

    VI. Content
    Let
    1. If 𝑥 approaches 𝑎, the values of 𝑓 (𝑥 ) is positive and 𝑔(𝑥 ) approaches
    0 through positive values, then
    𝑓 (𝑥 )
    lim = +∞.
    𝑥→𝑎 𝑔(𝑥 )
    2. If 𝑥 approaches 𝑎, the values of 𝑓 (𝑥 ) is negative and 𝑔(𝑥 ) approaches
    0 through negative values, then
    𝑓 (𝑥 )
    lim = +∞.
    𝑥→𝑎 𝑔(𝑥 )

    3. If 𝑥 approaches 𝑎, the values of 𝑓 (𝑥 ) is positive and 𝑔(𝑥 ) approaches


    0 through negative values, then
    𝑓 (𝑥 )
    lim = −∞.
    𝑥→𝑎 𝑔(𝑥 )

    4. If 𝑥 approaches 𝑎, the values of 𝑓 (𝑥 ) is negative and 𝑔(𝑥 ) approaches


    0 through positive values, then
    𝑓 (𝑥 )
    lim = −∞.
    𝑥→𝑎 𝑔(𝑥 )
    5. If 𝑥 approaches ±∞, the values of 𝑓 (𝑥 ) is positive or negative and 𝑔(𝑥 )
    increases or decreases without bound, then
    𝑓 (𝑥 )
    lim = 0.
    𝑥→±∞ 𝑔(𝑥 )

    Consider these rules in solving the following examples

    Example 1.

    1
    1. lim x+2
    𝑥→4

    Solution:

    1
    = lim
    𝑥→4 x+2

    1
    = 4+2

    1
    =6 by property 1 above.

    Example 2.
    −1
    2. lim 𝑥−5
    𝑥→3
    Solution:

    −1
    = lim 𝑥−5
    𝑥→3

    −1
    = 3−5

    1
    =2 by property 2 above.

    Example 3.
    2
    3. lim
    𝑥→−7 x+4

    Solution:

    2
    = lim
    𝑥→−7 𝑥+4

    2
    = −7+4

    2
    = −3 by property 3 above

    Example 4

    −𝑥
    4. lim
    𝑥→1 𝑥+2

    Solution:

    −𝑥
    =lim
    𝑥→1 x+2

    −1
    =1+2

    1
    = −3 by property 4 above

    Example 5.

    3𝑥−7
    5. lim
    𝑥→+∞ 𝑥+2
    Solution:
    3𝑥−7
    = lim
    𝑥→+∞ 𝑥+2

    1
    3𝑥−7∙
    = lim 1
    x
    by basic limit laws and property 5 above.
    𝑥→+∞ 𝑥+2∙
    x

    7
    3−
    = lim x
    2
    𝑥→+∞ 1+x

    3−0
    = 1+0

    =3

    Moreover,
    𝑝(𝑥)
    The value of lim f(x) can be determined based on its degrees. Let’s say we have 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑔(𝑥) and
    x→±∞
    𝑚 and 𝑛 are the degrees of the numerator and denominator, respectively.

    The table below summarizes the behavior of 𝑓(𝑥) as it approaches ±∞.


    Cases Value of 𝐥𝐢𝐦 𝒇(𝒙)
    𝒙→±∞

    When the numerator’s degree

    is smaller: 𝒎 < 𝒏 𝐥𝐢𝐦 𝒇(𝒙) = 𝟎


    𝒙→±∞

    When the numerator’s degree

    is larger: 𝒎 > 𝒏 𝐥𝐢𝐦 𝒇(𝒙) = ±∞


    𝒙→±∞

    When the numerator and

    denominator’s degree are 𝑳𝒆𝒂𝒅𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒄𝒐𝒆𝒇𝒇𝒊𝒄𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝒐𝒇 𝒑(𝒙)


    𝐥𝐢𝐦 𝒇(𝒙) =
    𝒙→±∞ 𝑳𝒆𝒂𝒅𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒄𝒐𝒆𝒇𝒇𝒊𝒄𝒊𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝒐𝒇 𝒈(𝒙)
    equal: 𝒎 = 𝒏
