Morning Refresher - 5 Basic Problems in Limits to Boost Your Mind

5 Basic Problems on Limits just to refresh your mind. Problem 1 Find the limit: \( \lim_{x \to 2} (3x - 4) \) Solution: To solve this limit, we substitute the value of \(x\) directly because the function is continuous at \(x = 2\). \[ \lim_{x \to 2} (3x - 4) = 3(2) - 4 = 6 - 4 = 2 \] Problem 2 Find the limit: \( \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\sin x}{x} \) Solution: This is a standard limit. The result is known and is based on the squeeze theorem: \[ \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\sin x}{x} = 1 \] Problem 3 Find the limit: \( \lim_{x \to 3} \frac{x^2 - 9}{x - 3} \) Solution: This function is not […] READ MORE...

THEOREM# \( \lim_{\theta\to0} \dfrac{sinθ}{θ} \) = 1

We have  \( \lim_{\theta\to0} { \sin\theta \over \theta } \) = 1 Consider the below diagram. We have r = radius of the circle.A = centre of the circle.The sector ⌔ formed by the arc BD subtends an angle θ at the centre. Case 1 : θ > 0 i.e. θ is +ve Let 0 ≤ θ ≤ \( \pi \over 2\) area △AOB = \( {1 \over 2} × BD × OA \) = \( {r \over 2} BD \) area △AOB = \( {BD \over OB } \) = \( {\sin\theta} \) ⇒ BD =  \(r \, {\sin\theta} \) ∴ area △AOB = \( {1 \over 2} \,r × r  {\sin\theta} \) = \( {1 \over 2} r^2 […] READ MORE...

Theorem# \( \lim_{x \to a} { x^n – a^n \over x – a } = na^{n-1} \) 

To prove : lim\( _{x \to a} { x^n - a^n \over x - a } = na^{n-1} \) where n is a rational number Proof: Let  \( x = a + h  \) Then as  \(x \to a \), we have  \(h \to 0 \) Now, \( \lim_{x \to a} { x^n - a^n \over x - a } =  \lim_{h \to 0} { (a + h)^n - a^n \over { a + h - a } } \) = \( \lim_{h \to 0} { a^n ( 1 + {h \over a} )^n - a^n \over h } \)      { Taking \( a^n \) out as a common factor } = \( \lim_{h \to 0} { a^n […] READ MORE...
