The expected value of the function as dictated by the points f ( x) 0 ±∞ If lim is of form or to the left of a point defines the left hand limit of the function x→a g ( x) 0 ±∞ at that point. Similarly the right hand limit. f ( x) f '( x) Limit of a function at a point is the common value of the left Then lim = lim x→a g ( x) x → a g '( x) and right hand limits, if they coincide. Derivatives For a function f and a real number a, lim f(x) and f(a) may not Derivative of a function f at any point x is defined by x→a df ( x) f ( x + h) − f ( x ) be same (In fact, one may be defined and not the other one). f '( x) = = lim dx h →0 h Fundamental Theorems on Limits For functions u and v the following holds: For functions f and g if lim f ( x) & lim g ( x) exists, then the (u ± v)' = u' ± v' x→a x→a following holds: (uv)' = u'v + uv' lim[ f ( x) ± g ( x)] = lim f ( x) ± lim g ( x) ' x→a x→a x→a u u ' v − uv ' provided all are defined. = lim[ f ( x).g ( x)] = lim f ( x). lim g ( x) v v2 x→a x→a x→a lim f ( x) Following are some of the standard derivatives. f ( x) x →a lim = lim g ( x) ; g ( x) ≠ 0 & xlim x →a g ( x) →a g ( x) ≠ 0 d n ( x ) = nx n −1 x→a dx Theorem d Following are some of the standard limits (sin x) = cos x dx xn − an d lim = na n −1 , for any + ve integer (cos x) = − sin x x→a x − a dx log (1 + x ) d ( x) lim =1 e = ex x →0 x dx sin x tan x d ( x) lim = lim = 1 a = a x log a x →0 x x →0 x dx 1 − cos x lim =0 d 1 x →0 x ( ln x ) = dx x x 1 d e lim 1 + = ( tan x ) = sec 2 x x →∞ x dx ex −1 d lim x =1 ( cosec x ) = −cosec x cot x x →0 dx ax −1 d lim = log e a ( sec x ) = sec x tan x x →0 x dx
