One-sided limits

\lim_{x \to c^-} f(x), \quad \lim_{x \to c^+} f(x)

The value $f(x)$ approaches from the left / right of $c$ .

Two-sided limit exists

\lim_{x \to c} f(x) \text{ exists} \iff \lim_{x \to c^-} f(x) = \lim_{x \to c^+} f(x)

Constant / identity

\lim_{x \to a} c = c, \quad \lim_{x \to a} x = a

Sum / difference / constant multiple

\lim_{x \to a} [f(x) \pm g(x)] = L \pm M, \quad \lim_{x \to a} [k \cdot f(x)] = k \cdot L

Product / quotient / power

\lim_{x \to a} [f(x) g(x)] = LM, \quad \lim_{x \to a} \frac{f(x)}{g(x)} = \frac{L}{M}, \quad \lim_{x \to a} [f(x)]^{\alpha} = L^{\alpha}

Quotient law requires $M \neq 0$ .

Direct substitution

\lim_{x \to a} p(x) = p(a)

For polynomials, and rational functions where $Q(a) \neq 0$ . If you get $0/0$ , factor or combine fractions first.

Limits at Infinity & Asymptotes (Day 2)Forgot it? Go back and study again →

Horizontal asymptote by degree

\deg(N) < \deg(D)

y=0

.
If

\deg(N) = \deg(D)

y = \frac{\text{leading coef of } N}{\text{leading coef of } D}

.
If

\deg(N) > \deg(D)

: no HA.

Vertical asymptote

\lim_{x \to a} f(x) = \pm\infty

x=a

∞ − ∞ trick

Multiply by the conjugate, then re-apply degree comparison.

Used for $\sqrt{\cdot} - \sqrt{\cdot}$ or $\sqrt{\cdot} - x$ forms.

Squeeze Theorem & Trig Limits (Day 3)Forgot it? Go back and study again →

Squeeze Theorem

g(x) \le f(x) \le h(x)

and

\lim_{x \to c} g(x) = \lim_{x \to c} h(x) = L \implies \lim_{x \to c} f(x) = L

Special trig limit #1

\lim_{\theta \to 0} \frac{\sin \theta}{\theta} = 1

Special trig limit #2

\lim_{\theta \to 0} \frac{1 - \cos \theta}{\theta} = 0

Continuity & IVT (Day 4)Forgot it? Go back and study again →

Continuity at a point

f(c)

defined,

\lim_{x \to c} f(x)

exists, and

\lim_{x \to c} f(x) = f(c)

Removable discontinuity

\lim_{x \to a} f(x)

exists but

\neq f(a)

(or

f(a)

undefined)

Jump discontinuity

\lim_{x \to a^+} f(x) \neq \lim_{x \to a^-} f(x)

Intermediate Value Theorem

f

continuous on

[a,b]

and

k

between

f(a), f(b) \implies \exists\, c \in (a,b): f(c) = k
