  1. Limits of Functions

  2. The limit of a function at a point a in its domain (if it exists) is the value that the function approaches as its argument approaches a. The concept of a limit is the fundamental concept of calculus and analysis. It is used to define the derivative and the definite integral, and it can also be used to analyze the local behavior of functions near points of interest. Informally, a function is said to have a limit L at a if it is possible to make the function arbitrarily close to L by choosing values closer and closer to a. Note that the actual value at a is irrelevant to the value of the limit. The notation is as follows:which is read as "the limit of f(x) as x approaches a is L." The limit of f(x) at ​ is the y-coordinate of the red point, not thesubstitutevaluef(​).

  12. SandwichTheorem

  13. Show that: The maximum value of sine is 1, so The minimum value of sine is -1, so So: By the sandwich theorem:

  14. Using the Sandwich theorem to find If we graph , it appears that

  15. Unfortunately, neither of these new limits are defined, since the left and right hand limits do not match. Unfortunately, neither of these new limits are defined, since the left and right hand limits do not match. If we graph , it appears that We might try to prove this using the sandwich theorem as follows: We will have to be more creative. Just see if you can follow this proof. Don’t worry that you wouldn’t have thought of it.

  16. Note: The following proof assumes positive values of . You could do a similar proof for negative values. P(x,y) 1 (1,0) Unit Circle
