  1. 1.2 Finding Limits Numerically

  2. Limits • A function f(x) has a limit L as x approaches as c if we can get f(x) as close to c as possible but not equal to c. x is very close to, not necessarily at, a certain number c NOTATION:

  3. 3 Ways to find Limits • Numerically - construct a table of values and move arbitrarily close to c • Graphically - exam the behavior of graph close to the c • Analytically
