A review of the concept of limits in calculus. It covers key topics such as graphical and analytical approaches to finding limits, special trigonometric limits, asymptotes, and continuity. The review provides examples and practice problems to help students solidify their understanding of limits. It serves as a comprehensive resource for students to prepare for exams or reinforce their knowledge of this fundamental calculus concept. Structured in a clear and organized manner, making it a valuable study aid for university-level calculus courses.

Reviews do NOT cover all material from the lessons but will hopefully remind you of key points. To be prepared, you must study all packets from Unit 1.
What is a limit? The ࢟ ‐value a function approaches at a given ݔ‐value.
Give the value of each statement. If the value does not exist, write “ does not exist ” or “ undefined .”
Finding a limit:

Vertical Asymptotes: If the denominator equals 0 , then there is a hole or a vertical asymptote. If the factor does not cancel, then it’s a vertical asymptote.
One‐sided limits at vertical asymptotes approach െ∞ or ∞.
Horizontal asymptotes:
௫→ஶ^ limሺ௫ሻሺ௫ሻ^ will produce a horizontal asymptote at ݕൌ 0 if ݃ increases faster than ݂. ൌ ݕ if ݃ and ݂ are increasing at the relative same amount where ܽ and ܾ are the coefficients of the fastest growing terms.
Don’t forget to check the left and right sides when looking for horizontal asymptotes.
Evaluate each limit. Find all horizontal asymptotes.

Don’t forget the Intermediate Value Theorem (for continuous functions)! What is it and what does it tell us?
