new skills # 1 The limit of a constant is itself. If k is
any constant, then,
lim k=k
x →c
Ex:
1. lim
x →c
2= 2
2. lim x = 0.005
x→ 0.005
3. lim x = -10
x→−10
Group 3:
The Constant Multiple Theorem: This
says that the limit of a multiple of a
function is simply that multiple of
the limit of the function.
lim k ∙ f (x)=k ∙ lim f ( x )=k ∙ L

Group 4:
The Addition Theorem: This says that
the limit of a sum of functions is the
sum of the limits of the individual
functions. Subtraction is also
included in this law, that is, the limit
of a difference of functions is the
difference of their limits.
lim (f ( x) ¿ + g(x ))=lim f ( x ) + g( x )¿
x →c x→ c
= L+M
lim (f ( x) ¿−g( x ))=lim f ( x ) −g ( x) ¿
x →c x→ c
=L–M
Ex: If lim
x →c
¿ ¿ and lim ¿ ¿, find:
x →c
1. lim ( f ( x)¿+ g( x )) ¿
x →c
2. lim (f ( x)¿−g(x )) ¿
x →c
Group 5
The Multiplication Theorem: This is
similar to the Addition Theorem,
with multiplication replacing
addition as the operation involved.
Thus, the limit of a product of
functions is equal to the product of
their limits.
lim (f ( x) ¿ ∙ g (x))=lim f ( x ) ∙ g( x )¿
x →c x →c
lim ¿ ¿
x →c
V. REMARKS
VI. REFLECTION Reflect on your teaching and assess yourself as a teacher. Think about your student’s progress this week. What else needs to be done to help the students learn?
Identify what help your instructional supervisors can provide for you so when you meet them, you can ask them relevant questions.
A. No. Of learners who earned 80% on
the formative assessment
B. No. Of learners who require additional
activities for remediation.
