Q
Vertical asymptote
A
Y=#/0
What makes denominator zero
-factor
-solve for x
2
Q
Def of limit
A
Lim x~>a- f(x)=
lim x~>a+ f(x)=
lim x~>a f(x)=
EXISTS!!

Q
Sandwich theorem
Lim x~>0 sin(1/x)
A
-If top or bottom approaches 0, the function inside goes to 0.
-Sin oscillates from 1~>-1~>1~>-1…
So there is no lim
-1/X goes to $
4
Q
Lim x~>0 [sinx/x]
A
=1
5
Q
Lim x~>0 [1-cos(x)/x]
A
=0
6
Q
Discontinuity 4 types
A
Removable- limit at point isn’t same
Jump- one sided limits r not same
Infinite- @ least 1 limit approaches $
Oscillatory- values near a point vary ————–too much to exist.
