Evaluating Limits Analytically Lesson 2.3
What Is the Squeeze Theorem? Today we look at various properties of limits, including the Squeeze Theorem
Basic Properties and Rules • Constant rule • Limit of x rule • Scalar multiple rule • Sum rule(the limit of a sum is the sum of the limits) See other properties pg. 79-81
Limits of Functions • Limit of a polynomial P(x) • Can be demonstrated using the basic properties and rules • Similarly, note the limit of a rational function What stipulation must be made concerning D(x)?
Try It Out • Evaluate the limits • Justify steps using properties
Some Examples • Consider • Why is this difficult? • Strategy: simplify the algebraic fraction
Reinforce Your Conclusion • Graph the Function • Trace value close tospecified point • Use a table to evaluateclose to the point inquestion
Some Examples • Rationalize the numerator of rational expression with radicals • Note possibilities for piecewise defined functions
