Key Topics to Revise

1

Definition and Basic Concepts of Limits

  • A limit describes the value that a function approaches as the input approaches a certain value
  • We write lim(x→a) f(x) = L, meaning f(x) approaches L as x approaches a
  • The function need not be defined at x = a for the limit to exist
2

Algebra of Limits

  • Limits follow algebraic properties similar to regular arithmetic
  • 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)
3

Method of Factorization

  • Used when direct substitution gives 0/0 form
  • Factor numerator and denominator to find common factors
  • Cancel common factors (valid since x ≠ a in limit process)
4

Method of Rationalization

  • Used when expressions involve square roots or radicals
  • Multiply by conjugate to eliminate radicals from numerator or denominator
  • Conjugate of (a + b) is (a - b) and vice versa
