SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL SELF-LEARNING MODULE

Grade: 11 Semester: First Semester

Core Subject Title: Basic Calculus No. of Hours/Semester: 80 hours

Core Subject Description:

This learning area will help you know how to determine the limit of a function, differentiate, and
integrate algebraic, exponential, logarithmic, and trigonometric functions in one variable, and to formulate
and solve problems involving continuity, extreme values, related rates, population models, and areas of
plane regions.

Introduction

Welcome to the Basic Calculus!

Calculus is one of the most important inventions in mathematics. Developed in the second half of the 17th
century by Isaac Newton and Gottfried Leibniz, it is now a fundamental area of mathematics and is a
powerful tool used extensively not only by mathematicians but also by engineers, scientists, economists and
others in a wide variety of applications. Calculus provides the language and concepts that allow us to model
natural phenomena.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

Upon the completion of this module, you will be able to:

 Illustrate the limit laws.

LET’S WARM- UP

A. Find the given limit.

lim x
1. x→−2

KEY TAKEAWAYS

In the previous module, you have learned that the limit of a function can be determined in two ways:
(1) construct a table of values and study the behavior of the function values as x approaches its indicated
value, or (2) sketch the graph of the function and study the behavior of the function as it goes closer to the
given value of x from both directions. But these methods can be time-consuming and tedious. Nonetheless,
following certain rules on limits can help simplify this process.
Module Content

Limit Laws:
In the following statements, c is a constant, and f and g are functions which may or may not have c in their
domains. We also assume that the limits of f and g both exist as x approaches c and that they are L and M,
respectively. In other words, lim f (x )=L∧lim g(x )=M ..
x →c x→c

Note:
 The Sum, Difference, and Product Rules may be applied to sums, differences, and
products of more than two functions.
 The Constant Multiple Rule is a special case of the Product Rule. Indeed, in the Product
Rule, if the first function (𝑥) is a constant function, the result is the Constant Multiple
Rule.
 lim f (x )
lim f (x )=2 f (x) x →c 2
If and lim𝑥→𝑐 (𝑥) = 0, then lim = = which not defined. Therefore, the
x →c x →c g(x ) lim g( x ) 0
x→c
limit does not exist.
