Key Topics to Revise

1

Fundamental Concepts of Limits

  • A limit describes the value a function approaches as the input approaches a specific value
  • Limits can exist even when the function is not defined at that point
  • The notation lim(x→a) f(x) = L means f(x) approaches L as x approaches a
2

Methods for Evaluating Limits

  • Direct Substitution: Works when function is defined at the point
  • Factorization Method: Used for 0/0 forms by canceling common factors
  • Rationalization Method: Used when square roots are present
3

Continuity of Functions

  • A function is continuous at x = a if lim(x→a) f(x) = f(a)
  • Three conditions for continuity: f(a) exists, limit exists, limit equals f(a)
  • Discontinuity types: Removable, Jump, Infinite
4

Problem-Solving Strategies and Techniques

  • Systematic approach: Identify form, choose method, apply technique, verify result
  • For 0/0 forms: Factor, rationalize, or use standard limits
  • For ∞/∞ forms: Divide by highest power or use L'Hôpital's rule
