Lesson 2:

THE LIMIT THEOREMS

by: Miss Lynde Amor P. Casayas

Most Essential Learning Competencies:
 illustrate the limit theorems

 apply the limit theorems in evaluating the

limit of algebraic functions (polynomial,
rational, and radical)
It is not easy to evaluate the limit of a
function from the graph or a table of
values. Our guess or estimate may not
always be correct. ..................................

We state the LIMIT THEOREMS, also called

LIMIT LAWS, and use these to evaluate
the limit of a function at a real number .
