The algebra of limits:
LO 1.1C
EK 1.1C1
EK 1.1C2
EK 1.1C 3

Determine limits of

functions.

Limits of sums, differences,

products, quotients, and

composite functions can be

found using the basic

theorems of limits and

algebraic rules.

The limit of a function may

be found by using algebraic

manipulation, alternate

forms of trigonometric

functions, or the squeeze

theorem (Sandwich

Theorem).

Limits of the indeterminate

forms, ퟎퟎ and ∞∞ may be

evaluated using L’Hospital's

Rule.

Substitution (continuous

functions)

Intuitive discussion of

removable versus non-

removable discontinuities

Factoring (removable

discontinuities)
