Class 11 Mathematics Revision Notes Chapter 13
- Consider a function f(x)=x2. Plotting it gives the value of x which approaches 0 as the value of function f(x) moves to 0.
- If x→a, f(x)→l, then the limit of the function f(x) is represented by l. This is written symbolically as limx→af(x)=l.
- The function should assume at a given point x=a irrespective of the limits.
- X can approach a number in two ways, from left or right. This means that all the values of x near a could be less or greater than a.
- Right-hand limit – Value of f(x) which is dictated by values of f(x) when x tends to from the right which is written as limx→a+f(x).
- Left-hand limit – Value of f(x) which is dictated by values of f(x) when x tends to from the left which is written as limx→a−f(x).
- The limit of f(x) as x tends to zero does not exist (even though the function is defined at 0) since left and right-hand limits are different.
- The common value is the limit and is denoted by limx→af(x) if the right and left-hand limits coincide.
Standard Limits – Listed Below Are Some Standard Limits
- limx→p (xn – pn)/x – p = npn-1
- limx→0 (sin x)/x = 1
- limx→p (sin (x – p))/(x – p) = 1
- limx→0 (tan x)/x = 1
- limx→p (tan (x – p))/(x – p) = 1
- limx→0 (sin-1 x)/x = 1
- limx→0 (tan-1 x)/x = 1
- limx→0 (px – 1)/x = logep, p > 0 and p 1
Algebra of Limits:
If f and g are two functions such that both limx→af(x) and limx→ag(x) exist, then:
- Limit of sum of two functions is sum of the limits of the functions, i.e. limx→a[f(x)+g(x)]=limx→af(x)+limx→ag(x).
- Limit of difference of two functions is difference of the limits of the functions, i.e. limx→a[f(x)−g(x)]=limx→af(x)−limx→ag(x)
- Limit of product of two functions is product of the limits of the functions, i.e., limx→a[f(x).g(x)]=limx→af(x).limx→ag(x)
- Limit of quotient of two functions is the quotient of the limits of the functions (whenever the denominator is non zero), i.e., limx→af(x)g(x)=limx→af(x)limx→ag(x)
- In a special case, when g is the constant function such that g(x)=λ, for some real number λ, we have limx→a[(λ.f)(x)]=λ.limx→af(x)
Polynomial Function:
A polynomial function is a function f(x) if it is a zero function or if f(x)=a0+a1x+a2x2+…+anxn where aiS is are real numbers such that an≠0 for some natural number n.
Rational Function:
A rational function is f(x)=g(x)/h(x) where g(x) and h(x) are polynomials such that h(x)≠0
limx→af(x)=limx→ag(x)/h(x)= limx→ag(x)/limx→ah(x) = g(a)/h(a).
Derivatives:
Derivatives – The derivative of a function y = f(x) is obtained by applying the equation change in y/change in x. Assume x goes from x to dx, and y changes from y to f(x) to f(x + dx), so,
- Derivative of a function at point x is given by: f′(x)=limh→0f(x+h)−f(x)/h .
- Derivative = change in y/change in x = dy/dx = f(x + dx) – f(x)/dx
Some Standard Derivatives – Mentioned Below Are Some Standard Derivatives
- d(xi)/dx = ixi-1
- d(sin x)/dx = cos x
- d(cos x)/dx = -sin x
- d(tan x)/dx = sec2x
- d(cot x)/dx = -coses2x
