    1.2 Limits and Their Properties

    Uploaded by

    kevinlnguyen1042
    This document covers the concept of limits in calculus, including how to estimate limits using numerical and graphical approaches. It explains the notation for limits and provides examples of finding limits both numerically and graphically. Additionally, it discusses scenarios where limits may not exist, such as differing left and right limits, unbounded behavior, and oscillating behavior.

    Calculus Section 1.

    2 Limits
    -Estimate a limit using a numerical or graphical approach.
    -Learn different ways that a limit can fail to exist. Homework: pages 55-58
    -Learn how to write a limit. #’s 2, 5, 15-25, 58, 67-70

    The limit is the value of f(x) as x approaches a certain number.

    A limit is written as: where:


    - lim is the abbreviation of the word limit
    - means that the value of x is approaching a number c
    - f(x) is the function
    - L is a constant number and the value of the limit
    This limit is read: “The limit as x approaches c of f(x) equals L” or “The limit of f(x) as x approaches c of f(x)
    equals L.”

    Example: Find the limit of a function numerically.

    Find
    x approaches 1 from the left x approaches 1 from the right
