BAISC CALCULUS Flashcards
basic definition of limits
the limit of a function is ___ (y-value) as x approaches to __ (x-value) from the left and right side
when does a limit NOT EXIST
when the values of a limit from the right side is different from the left side
Example of an equation wherein the function value is undefined but the limit exists
f(x) = [(x^2 -9) / (x-3)]
Cite the 8 Rules on Evaluating limits
- Constant
- Number A
- Coefficient of f(x)
- Addition/Subtraction
- Multiplication
- Division
- Power
- Power Root (n = even; f(x) ≠ 0)
For equations like lim as x-> 1 =
_/x - 1
———-
x - 1
how to solve
rationalize
dont simplify muna
=1/2
if a given is
lim f(x) as x -> 1^( - ) = ?
lim f(x) as x -> 1^( + ) = ?
what are the:
1. Possible answers
2. What do you call these functions
3. Exceptions to these
- or - infinity
- One-sided Limits
- Piecewise Functions
4 RULES for limits involving infinities + RECHECKING
- Addition/Subtraction: Highest Degree
- Division: Bottom Heavy = 0
- Division: Top Heavy = Cross out other insignificant value in the numerator then the denominator
- Division: Equal degree in numerator and denominator = divide coefficients
RECHECKING
divide both numerator & denominator by 1/(x^highest degree in denominator)
Find out whats different then solve:
lim as x->3
1 ——— (x - 3)^2
THIS IS NOT A ONE SIDED FUNCTION
since = 1/0
infinity ang sagot
LIMITS
if k is a constant and:
k ^ ∞
what is the answer
∞, if k>1
0, if 0<k<1
3 rules for a continuous function
- f(x) exists
- lim exists
- f(x)=lim
CONTINUOUS FUNCTION
if piecewise eq what to do
if not piecewise
piecewise: for LIM, check right and left side
not piecewise: for LIM, directly substitute na
what to do
- lim ln f(x)
- lim sin f(x)
- lim e^(f(x))
- ln (lim f(x))
- sin (lim f(x))
- e^(lim f(x))
CONTINUITY FUNCTIONS IN
- open intervals
- closed intervals [a, b]
- all numbers in between must be continuous
- a. all numbers in between mus be continuous
b. lim x-> a+ = f(a)
c. lim x-> b- = f(b)
FACTORING RULES
1. a2 - b2
- (a+b)2
- (a-b)2
- a3 + b3
- a3 - b3
- (a+b) (a-b)
- a2 +2ab +b2
- a2 -2ab +b2
- (a + b) (a2 - 2ab + b2)
- (a - b) (a2 + 2ab + b2)
What to remember in one sided functions?
- Factor
- Substitute x
- Analyze
SUBSTITUTE X KASI approach x na sya,…
and look at if from the right/left
