1.3 Evaluating Limits Analytically

Evaluate a limit using the Squeeze Theorem

Theorem 1.9 Two Special Trigonometric Limits

Theorem 1.8 The Squeeze Theorem

p. 65

Evaluate a limit using dividing out and rationalizing techniques

Rationalizing

Use when rational limits with radicals have the form 0/0 after direct substitution.

The expression 0/0 is indeterminate.

Theorem 1.7 allows this method to work.

Dividing Out

Use when rational limits have the form 0/0 after direct substitution.

The expression 0/0 is indeterminate.

Think "simplify."

Theorem 1.7 allows this method to work.

Develop and use a strategy for finding limits

A Strategy for Finding Limits

Learn to recognize which limits can be evaluated by direct substitution (Theorems 1.1-1.6).

If the limit of f(x) as x approaches c cannot be evaluated by direct substitution, try to find a function g that agrees with f for all x other than x=c. [Choose g such that the limit of g(x) can be evaluated by direct substitution.]

Apply Theorem 1.7 to conclude analytically that your choice of g works.

Use a graph or table to reinforce your conclusion.

1.2 Finding Limits Graphically and Numerically

Study and use a formal definition of limit

Epsilon-Delta definition of limit

Learn different ways that a limit can fail to exist

Oscillating behavior

Dirichlet function

Unbounded behavior

Behavior that differs from the right and from the left

Estimate a limit using a numerical or graphical approach

Existence of f(x)

The existence or nonexistence of f(x) at x=c has no bearing on the existence of the limit of f(x) as x approaches c.

Notation

Graphical approach

Does the graph show a large irregularity of some sort?

Numerical approach

Use a table of values that approach the value of interest from both sides.
