What a function is doing near

doesn’t approach the same

limits
a particular value of x
value from the left and right

A limit does not exist

(DNE) if the doesn’t approach a finite #,
lim f(x) = L function… i.e. ±∞ (special description
x→c of how the function DNE)

the limit at x approaches c

does not depend on the 1/∞ is a very
value of f(c)!!! very small
to evaluate… number, close
to 0
lim f(x)
analytically x→±∞

graphically numerically radical

function for a rational
function divide
denominator the numerator
is zero and denominator
usually using a use limit law to polynomial
inspect the by the largest
calculator, obtain a get a lim of a or rational
graph, as x—> power of x in the
table of x & values polynomial function
c, what value is rationalize denominator
near (before and
the function cancel out
after) x = c and the
approaching common
determine what y numerator
factor in
value the function is
denominator replace all
approaching direct
and numerator terms that
substitution
go to 1/∞

lim f(x) = f(a) ax n a

lim n =
x→a x→∞ bx b
