LIMITS AND CONTINUITY

OF A FUNCTION

Prepared by: Ms. Shaira Kaye A. Ara

 Calculus
 is the mathematics that deals with change
 it provides us to construct simple models of
change and infer the change’s consequences
 the tools of calculus are limits, derivatives
and integrals.
 THE LIMIT OF A FUNCTION

The notation for a limit of a function is

which is read as
“the limit of f(x) as x approaches a is L”
“the limit of f(x) is equal to L as x
approaches to a”
 THE LIMIT OF A FUNCTION

Let f(x) = x + 1.
What is the behaviour of f(x)
numerically, graphically and
algebraically when x is chosen closer
and closer to 1, but not equal to 1?

3. Use the table, the graph and the

algebraic expression x + 1 to find

4. Use a similar approach to find:
