Revision Notes — Limits And Derivatives

Key concepts, formulas, and definitions from Limits And Derivatives for BVP CET Engineering Mathematics preparation.

Key Topics to Revise

1

12.1 Introduction to Limits

  • A limit describes the value a function approaches as the input approaches a specific value
  • Limits exist even when the function is not defined at that point
  • Left-hand limit (LHL) and right-hand limit (RHL) must be equal for a limit to exist
2

12.2 Algebra of Limits

  • Sum rule: lim[f(x) + g(x)] = lim f(x) + lim g(x)
  • Product rule: lim[f(x) × g(x)] = lim f(x) × lim g(x)
  • Quotient rule: lim[f(x)/g(x)] = lim f(x) / lim g(x), provided lim g(x) ≠ 0
3

12.3 Limits of Polynomial and Rational Functions

  • For polynomial functions: lim(x→a) p(x) = p(a) (direct substitution)
  • For rational functions: lim(x→a) p(x)/q(x) = p(a)/q(a) if q(a) ≠ 0
  • Important result: lim(x→a) (x^n - a^n)/(x - a) = na^(n-1)
4

12.4 Trigonometric Limits

  • Fundamental limit: lim(x→0) (sin x)/x = 1
  • Related limits: lim(x→0) (tan x)/x = 1, lim(x→0) (1 - cos x)/x² = 1/2
  • Squeeze theorem is often used for trigonometric limits
