    Uploaded by

    Celeste Alegría
    The document outlines 9 limit theorems for evaluating limits of functions as x approaches a value a. The theorems cover limits of linear functions, constants, sums/differences of functions, products of functions, quotients of functions, nth roots of functions, and rational functions. Examples are provided to illustrate how to apply each theorem to determine limits. Special cases for rational functions and indeterminate forms are also discussed.

    LIMITS THEOREMS
    In general, for rational functions f(x) = , where p(x) and q(x) are polynomial functions and
    q(x)≠0, if a is in the domain of f, then, .
    Expressions such as , are called indeterminate forms. If after direct application of one or
    any one or any combination of Limit Theorems from 1 to 10, we encounter an indeterminate
    form, we evaluate the limit of the given function after some algebraic manipulations.
     Illustration 8
    In evaluating , we first note that a = 3 is not in the domain of the function f(x) =.
    Therefore, f(x) =. ≠3, applying the limit theorem for a quotient of two functions, we obtain,

    = , which is an indeterminate form, that is, the limit cannot be determined.


    Note, however, that both numerator and denominator have a common factor, x – 3. Thus,

    Therefore,
     Limit Theorem 10. Limit of the nth Root of a Function
    If n is a positive integer and = , with the restriction that if n is even, L ≥ 0.
     Example 2. Find the
    Solution: In this example, f(x) = and f(1) = . Since a =1 is in the domain of f, we say that

    Example 3. Find the
    Solution: In this example, f(x) = and a = 4 is not in the domain of f. Therefore, we evaluate the limit
    by applying the appropriate limit theorems.
    by Limit Theorem 9,

    By Rationalizing the numerator of f(x), we have

    Therefore, = , Now we consider limit theorems involving rational functions of specific forms.
