Limit Identities

  • lim(sinx/x)=1

  • limx→0(1-cosx/x)=0

When can you assume a function is continuous?

  • The function is a polynomial

  • y = sin(x)

  • y = cos(x)

  • If f and g are continuous, f(x) ± g(x) is continuous, f(x) g(x) is continuous, f(x)/g(x) is continuous where g(x) does not equal 0, and c * f(x) is continuous where c is a constant

Vertical Asymptote

x=c is a vertical asymptote if the limx→c⁺ f(x) = ∞/-∞ and the limx→c⁻ f(x) = ∞/-∞

8
New cards

Horizontal Asymptote

y=b is a horizontal asymptote if the limx→∞/-∞ f(x) = b

Squeeze Theorem

If f(x) ≤ g(x) ≤ h(x) for all x ̸= a and limx→a f(x) = limx→a h(x) = L, then
limx→a g(x) = L

New cards

When does a limit not exist?

  • f(x) approaches a different number from the right as it does from the left as x→c

  • f(x) increases or decreases without bound as x→c

  • f(x) oscillates between two fixed values as x→c

12
New cards

Horizontal Asymptote Rules

  • If top degree = bottom degree, divide leading coefficients

  • If top degree < bottom degree, ha is at y = 0

  • If top degree > bottom degree, there is no ha
