Evaluating Limits


So today we started limits. We use limits as "mathematical microscopes" to describe y-values near a given x-value. We evaluate the limits of given functions by (for now) using the calculator: Enter the function in Y1 and use the table feature to enter certain x-values. Use the y-values to determine the limit of the function. Remember to use radians when evaluating limits that involve trig. Also, keep in mind that some limits do not exist or may be deemed "indeterminate." See notes for further details.
