Understanding the behaviour of a function near a certain given point is essential in calculus. Limit is the basic tool that helps to determine this behaviour. A limit helps to understand the behaviour of a function as its input approaches a specific value. The main focus of this exercise is on evaluating the limits of a function using different methods, like the intuitive method and the algebraic method. Exercise 12.1 of the NCERT introduces simple methods for solving limits of functions like polynomial, rational and trigonometric functions.

Question 6: Evaluate the following limits
Answer:
The limit
Lets put
since we have changed the function, its limit will also change,
so
So our function have became
Now As we know the property
Hence,
Question 8: Evaluate the following limits
Answer:
The limit
At x = 2 both numerator and denominator becomes zero, so lets factorise the function
Now we can put the limit directly, so
Question:10 Evaluate the following limits
Answer:
The limit
Here on directly putting limit , both numerator and the deniminator becomes zero so we factorize the function and then put the limit.
Question 11: Evaluate the following limits
Answer:
The limit:
Since Denominator is not zero on directly putting the limit, we can directly put the limits, so,
Question 12: Evaluate the following limits
Answer:
Here, since denominator becomes zero on putting the limit directly, so we first simplify the function and then put the limit,
Question 13: Evaluate the following limits
Answer:
The limit
Here on directly putting the limits, the function becomes
As
Question 14: Evaluate the following limits
Answer:
The limit,
On putting the limit directly, the function takes the zero by zero form So,we convert it in the form of
Question 16: Evaluate the following limits
Answer:
The limit
the function behaves well on directly putting the limit,so we put the limit directly. So.
Question 17: Evaluate the following limits
Answer:
The limit:
The function takes the zero by zero form when the limit is put directly, so we simplify the function and then put the limit
Question 18: Evaluate the following limits
Answer:
The function takes the form zero by zero when we put the limit directly in the function,. since function consist of sin function and cos function, we try to make the function in the form of
So,
Question 19: Evaluate the following limits
Answer:
As function doesn't create any abnormality on putting the limit directly,we can put limit directly. So,
Question 20: Evaluate the following limits
Answer:
The function takes the zero by zero form when we put the limit into the function directly, so we try to eliminate this case by simplifying the function. So
Question 21: Evaluate the following limits
Answer:
On putting the limit directly the function takes infinity by infinity form, So we simplify the function and then put the limit
Question 22: Evaluate the following limits
Answer:
The function takes zero by zero form when the limit is put directly, so we simplify the function and then put the limits,
So
Let's put
Since we are changing the variable, limit will also change.
as
So function in new variable becomes,
As we know tha property
Question 23: Find
Answer:
Given Function
Now,
Limit at x = 0 :
:
Hence limit at x = 0 is 3.
Limit at x = 1
Hence limit at x = 1 is 6.
Question 24: Find
Answer:
Limit at
Limit at
As we can see that Limit at
Question:25 Evaluate
Answer:
The right-hand Limit or Limit at
The left-hand limit or Limit at
Since Left-hand limit and right-hand limit are not equal, The limit of this function at x = 0 does not exists.
Question 26: Evaluate
Answer:
The right-hand Limit or Limit at
The left-hand limit or Limit at
Since Left-hand limit and right-hand limit are not equal, The limit of this function at x = 0 does not exists.
Question:27 Find
Answer:
The right-hand Limit or Limit at
The left-hand limit or Limit at
Since Left-hand limit and right-hand limit are equal, The limit of this function at x = 5 is 0.
Question 28: Suppose
Answer:
Given,
And
Since the limit exists,
left-hand limit = Right-hand limit = f(1).
Left-hand limit = f(1)
Right-hand limit
From both equations, we get that,
Hence the possible value of a and b are 0 and 4 respectively.
Question 29: Let a1, a2, . . ., an be fixed real numbers and define a function
Answer:
Given,
Now,
Hence
,
Now,
Hence
Question 30: If
Answer:
Limit at x = a exists when the right-hand limit is equal to the left-hand limit. So,
Case 1: when a = 0
The right-hand Limit or Limit at
The left-hand limit or Limit at
Since Left-hand limit and right-hand limit are not equal, The limit of this function at x = 0 does not exists.
Case 2: When a < 0
The right-hand Limit or Limit at
The left-hand limit or Limit at
Since LHL = RHL, Limit exists at x = a and is equal to a-1.
Case 3: When a > 0
The right-hand Limit or Limit at
The left-hand limit or Limit at
Since LHL = RHL, Limit exists at x = a and is equal to a+1
Hence,
The limit exists at all points except at x=0.
Question:32 If
Answer:
Given,
Case 1: Limit at x = 0
The right-hand Limit or Limit at
The left-hand limit or Limit at
Hence Limit will exist at x = 0 when m = n .
Case 2: Limit at x = 1
The right-hand Limit or Limit at
The left-hand limit or Limit at
Hence Limit at 1 exists at all integers.

This exercise introduces the concept of the limits of a function. In this, students will find problems and exercises that primarily revolve around the following key concepts:
1) Intuitive idea of derivative : The intuitive idea of derivative measures how a function changes at a specific point. For example the speed of vehicles tells us how fast the vehicle is moving at a particular point of time. Basically Derivative tells how fastly value of a function is changing at a certain input.
2) Limit : It is the value that a function approaches as the input gets closer to a certain given point.
3) Algebra of Limits: The set of rules that calculate the limit of a combination of functions using the limit of the individual functions.
4) Limits of Polynomials: Limit of a Polynomial function is the value of polynomial at a given point let the point is
So, the limit of polynomial is
5) Limits of Rational functions: Rational function is basically the ratio of two polynomials
Let a rational function
The limit for this function only exists at x=a if
