    Function Limits, Limit Rules, L’Hopital’s Rule, Squeeze Theorem

    In this lesson, we will be discussing how to use limit rules and find limits of different functions. The functions we will discuss are the following: 1. Reciprocal Functions 2. Exponential Functions 3. Logarithmic Functions 4. Trigonometric Functions 5. Square Root Functions – this will not be discussed because you can use the Plug-In method…

    Solving Limits Using Factoring and Conjugates

    In this video, we will be discussing methods of manipulating equations to solve limits. The methods of manipulation discussed in this video are: 1. Factoring Factor the function in order to simplify it, then try plugging in x=a again. Here are some common factoring rules in case you forgot! I haven’t made a video on…

    Intro to Limits + Solve using Plug-In, Table of Values, Graphs

    Today’s topic will be on limits. A limit is just a y-value that a function approaches as we approach a certain value of x. We will discuss the definition of a limit and three basic methods of solving them. The methods discussed in this video are: 1. Plug-In Method Directly plug x=a in to the…
