Overview

The chapter 'Limits and Continuity' introduces the foundational concepts of calculus. Limits help us understand the behavior of a function as the input approaches a certain value, even if the function is not defined at that point. Continuity, on the other hand, ensures that a function has no breaks,

Key Concepts

The limit of a function f(x)

The limit of a function f(x) as x approaches 'a' is the value that f(x) gets closer to as x gets arbitrarily close to 'a', regardless of whether f(a)

The left

The left-hand limit (LHL) is the value f(x) approaches as x approaches 'a' from the left (x → a⁻). The right-hand limit (RHL) is the value as x approa

A function f(x) is continuous at

A function f(x) is continuous at x = a if three conditions are met: (1) f(a) is defined, (2) the limit of f(x) as x → a exists, and (3) the limit equa

Standard limits like lim (x→0) sinx/x

Standard limits like lim (x→0) sinx/x = 1 and lim (x→0) (eˣ - 1)/x = 1 are used frequently. L'Hospital's Rule helps evaluate indeterminate forms like

Learning Objectives

  • Define the limit of a function, left-hand limit, and right-hand limit.
  • Evaluate limits using algebraic, trigonometric, exponential, and logarithmic methods.
  • Apply standard limits and L'Hospital's Rule to solve indeterminate forms.
  • Define and check the continuity of a function at a point and over an interval.
  • Interpret continuity geometrically and analyze piecewise functions for continuity.
