CBSE Grade 11 | Math | Limits and Derivatives
Name: _________________________ Date: _________________________ Score: _______ / 40

The limit of (x² − 4)/(x − 2) as x tends to 2 is 4 and the limit of (sin x)/x as x tends to 0 is 1, so this Class 11 sheet opens with the two standard limits. The derivative answers record 2x, 0, 6 and cos x.
