2. What are the fundamental principles and
techniques used to understand and
evaluate limits in basic calculus, and how
do they apply to real-world problems and
mathematical analysis?

It’s fundamental for fields like the
ff:
● Physics
● Engineering
● Economics
● Biology
● Computer Science
It provides a foundation for
understanding how things
change over time.
5. It is the backbone of calculus
In mathematics, it formally expresses the concept
of arbitrary closeness. That is, a limit is a value
that a variable approaches as closely as one
desires.
What role does Limits
play in Calculus?
It allows us to understand Calculus’ two
mathematical operations, differentiation and
integration.

Images reveal large amounts of data,
so remember: use an image instead of
a long text. Your audience will
appreciate it
28. Activity 03: matching
Matching concepts with description
… are defined as the values that a function approaches
the output for the given input values
… is a property of functions characterized by the
absence of abrupt changes or breaks in their graphs
… is visualized as a rule, which gives a unique output
for every input x
