17 Αυγ 2024 · Use the limit laws to evaluate the limit of a polynomial or rational function. Evaluate the limit of a function by factoring or by using conjugates. Evaluate the limit of a function by using the squeeze theorem. In the previous section, we evaluated limits by looking at graphs or by constructing a table of values.
In this section, we establish laws for calculating limits and learn how to apply these laws. In the Student Project at the end of this section, you have the opportunity to apply these limit laws to derive the formula for the area of a circle by adapting a method devised by the Greek mathematician Archimedes.
Limits (An Introduction) Approaching ... Sometimes we can't work something out directly ... but we can see what it should be as we get closer and closer! Example: (x2 − 1) (x − 1) Let's work it out for x=1: (12 − 1) (1 − 1) = (1 − 1) (1 − 1) = 0 0. Now 0/0 is a difficulty!
Use the limit laws to evaluate the limit of a polynomial or rational function. Evaluate the limit of a function by factoring or by using conjugates. Evaluate the limit of a function by using the squeeze theorem. The concept of a limit or limiting process, essential to the understanding of calculus, has been around for thousands of years.

In mathematics, a limit is the value that a function (or sequence) approaches as the argument (or index) approaches some value. [1] Limits of functions are essential to calculus and mathematical analysis, and are used to define continuity, derivatives, and integrals.
