Essential Question. How can I find one-sided limits? How can I find infinite limits? 12.1 Estimating Limits Graphically Day 2
Left-hand and right-hand limits We write The limit of f(x) as x approaches c from the left is L.
Similarly, we write The limit of f(x) as x approaches c from the right is L.
Note that if and only if and
does not exist because the left and right hand limits do not match! left hand limit right hand limit value of the function Example 1 2 1 1 2 3 4 Find the Following: 0 1 1
