3 33460_003qd //04 :3 PM Page 6 SECTION 3 Evaluating Limits Analticall 6 The following theorem greatl epands our abilit to evaluate its because it shows how to analze the it of a composite function See Appendi A for a proof of this theorem THEOREM 5 The Limit of a Composite Function If f and g are functions such that g L and f fl, then fg f g f L L EXAMPLE 4 The Limit of a Composite Function a Because and 0 it follows that b Because and it follows that You have seen that the its of man algebraic functions can be evaluated b direct substitution The si basic trigonometric functions also ehibit this desirable qualit, as shown in the net theorem (presented without proof) THEOREM 6 Limits of Trigonometric Functions Let c be a real number in the domain of the given trigonometric function sin sin c 3 tan tan c 4 cos cos c cot cot c 5 sec sec c 6 csc csc c EXAMPLE 5 Limits of Trigonometric Functions a tan tan0 0 0 b cos cos cos c 0 sin 0 sin 0 0

4 33460_003qd //04 :3 PM Page 6 6 CHAPTER Limits and Their Properties A Strateg for Finding Limits On the previous three pages, ou studied several tpes of functions whose its can be evaluated b direct substitution This knowledge, together with the following theorem, can be used to develop a strateg for finding its A proof of this theorem is given in Appendi A f() = 3 3 THEOREM 7 Functions That Agree at All But One Point Let c be a real number and let f g for all c in an open interval containing c If the it of g as approaches c eists, then the it of f also eists and f g EXAMPLE 6 Finding the Limit of a Function Find the it: 3 3 g() = + + f and g agree at all but one point Figure 7 Solution Let f 3 B factoring and dividing out like factors, ou can rewrite f as f So, for all -values other than, the functions f and g agree, as shown in Figure 7 Because g eists, ou can appl Theorem 7 to conclude that f and g have the same it at 3 3 g, Factor Divide out like factors Appl Theorem 7 Use direct substitution Simplif STUDY TIP When appling this strateg for finding a it, remember that some functions do not have a it (as approaches c) For instance, the following it does not eist 3 A Strateg for Finding Limits Learn to recognize which its can be evaluated b direct substitution (These its are listed in Theorems through 6) If the it of f as approaches c cannot be evaluated b direct substitution, tr to find a function g that agrees with f for all other than c [Choose g such that the it of g can be evaluated b direct substitution] 3 Appl Theorem 7 to conclude analticall that f g gc 4 Use a graph or table to reinforce our conclusion

5 33460_003qd //04 :3 PM Page 63 SECTION 3 Evaluating Limits Analticall 63 Dividing Out and Rationalizing Techniques Two techniques for finding its analticall are shown in Eamples 7 and 8 The first technique involves dividing out common factors, and the second technique involves rationalizing the numerator of a fractional epression EXAMPLE 7 Dividing Out Technique Find the it: ( 3, 5) f is undefined when 3 Figure 8 NOTE In the solution of Eample 7, be sure ou see the usefulness of the Factor Theorem of Algebra This theorem states that if c is a zero of a polnomial function, c is a factor of the polnomial So, if ou appl direct substitution to a rational function and obtain rc pc qc 0 0 ou can conclude that c must be a common factor to both p and q f() = Solution Although ou are taking the it of a rational function, ou cannot appl Theorem 3 because the it of the denominator is Direct substitution fails Because the it of the numerator is also 0, the numerator and denominator have a common factor of 3 So, for all 3, ou can divide out this factor to obtain f 6 3 Using Theorem 7, it follows that g, Appl Theorem Use direct substitution This result is shown graphicall in Figure 8 Note that the graph of the function f coincides with the graph of the function g, ecept that the graph of f has a gap at the point 3, 5 In Eample 7, direct substitution produced the meaningless fractional form 00 An epression such as 00 is called an indeterminate form because ou cannot (from the form alone) determine the it When ou tr to evaluate a it and encounter this form, remember that ou must rewrite the fraction so that the new denominator does not have 0 as its it One wa to do this is to divide out like factors, as shown in Eample 7 A second wa is to rationalize the numerator, as shown in Eample 8 TECHNOLOGY PITFALL Because the graphs of 3 δ 5 + ε 3 + δ f 6 3 and g Incorrect graph of Figure 9 f Glitch near ( 3, 5) 5 ε differ onl at the point 3, 5, a standard graphing utilit setting ma not distinguish clearl between these graphs However, because of the piel configuration and rounding error of a graphing utilit, it ma be possible to find screen settings that distinguish between the graphs Specificall, b repeatedl zooming in near the point 3, 5 on the graph of f, our graphing utilit ma show glitches or irregularities that do not eist on the actual graph (See Figure 9) B changing the screen settings on our graphing utilit ou ma obtain the correct graph of f

6 33460_003qd //04 :3 PM Page CHAPTER Limits and Their Properties EXAMPLE 8 Rationalizing Technique Find the it: 0 Solution B direct substitution, ou obtain the indeterminate form Direct substitution fails 0 0 f() = + In this case, ou can rewrite the fraction b rationalizing the numerator, 0 Now, using Theorem 7, ou can evaluate the it as shown 0 0 The it of f as approaches 0 is Figure 0 A table or a graph can reinforce our conclusion that the it is (See Figure 0) approaches 0 from the left approaches 0 from the right f ? f approaches 05 f approaches 05 NOTE The rationalizing technique for evaluating its is based on multiplication b a convenient form of In Eample 8, the convenient form is

7 33460_003qd //04 :3 PM Page 65 SECTION 3 Evaluating Limits Analticall 65 f g h h() f() g() The Squeeze Theorem Figure f lies in here g c h f The Squeeze Theorem The net theorem concerns the it of a function that is squeezed between two other functions, each of which has the same it at a given -value, as shown in Figure (The proof of this theorem is given in Appendi A) THEOREM 8 The Squeeze Theorem If h f g for all in an open interval containing c, ecept possibl at c itself, and if h L g then f eists and is equal to L You can see the usefulness of the Squeeze Theorem in the proof of Theorem 9 THEOREM 9 Two Special Trigonometric Limits sin cos (cos θ, sin θ) (, tan θ) Proof To avoid the confusion of two different uses of, the proof is presented using the variable, where is an acute positive angle measured in radians Figure shows a circular sector that is squeezed between two triangles FOR FURTHER INFORMATION For more information on the function f sin, see the article The Function sin b William B Gearhart and Harris S Shultz in The College Mathematics Journal To view this article, go to the website wwwmatharticlescom θ (, 0) A circular sector is used to prove Theorem 9 Figure tan θ sin θ θ θ θ Area of triangle Area of sector Area of triangle tan sin Multipling each epression b sin produces cos sin and taking reciprocals and reversing the inequalities ields cos sin Because cos cos and sin sin, ou can conclude that this inequalit is valid for all nonzero in the open interval, Finall, because cos and, ou can appl the Squeeze Theorem to 0 0 conclude that sin The proof of the second it is left as an eercise (see 0 Eercise 0)

8 33460_003qd //04 :3 PM Page CHAPTER Limits and Their Properties EXAMPLE 9 A Limit Involving a Trigonometric Function Find the it: tan 0 f() = tan 4 The it of f as approaches 0 is Figure 3 Solution Direct substitution ields the indeterminate form 00 To solve this problem, ou can write tan as sin cos and obtain tan 0 0 sin cos Now, because sin 0 ou can obtain (See Figure 3) and 0 tan 0 sin 0 0 cos cos EXAMPLE 0 A Limit Involving a Trigonometric Function Find the it: 0 sin 4 g() = sin 4 6 The it of g as approaches 0 is 4 Figure 4 Solution Direct substitution ields the indeterminate form 00 To solve this problem, ou can rewrite the it as sin sin Multipl and divide b 4 Now, b letting 4 and observing that 0 if and onl if 0, ou can write sin sin (See Figure 4) 4 sin 0 4 TECHNOLOGY Use a graphing utilit to confirm the its in the eamples and eercise set For instance, Figures 3 and 4 show the graphs of f tan and g sin 4 Note that the first graph appears to contain the point 0, and the second graph appears to contain the point 0, 4, which lends support to the conclusions obtained in Eamples 9 and 0
