Joke of the day A math professor is one who talks in someone else's sleep.
1 and 2 sided limits • Right hand limit • Left hand limit • A function f(x) has a limit as x approaches c iff the right hand limit and the left hand limit are equal to each other.
Look at example on p. 64 • What limits do we have: • At x = 0: • At x = 1: • At x = 2: • At x = 3: • At x = 4:
Sandwich Theorem • If we have a function whose graph lies between 2 other functions, and we know the limits of the larger and the smaller functions at a given point are equal to each other, then then the limit of the “middle” function at that point is equal to the limits of the other 2 functions.
How this works • What do we know about the range of the sine function? • ≤ • = ≤
