    3166125150
    This document contains examples and explanations of limits in calculus. It includes: 1) Tables of values approaching a limit to demonstrate the concept. For example, values of f(x) approaching 1 as x approaches 0 from both sides. 2) Explanations of evaluating one-sided and two-sided limits, including limits that approach infinity or do not exist. 3) Examples of limits of rational expressions and trigonometric, exponential, and logarithmic functions. Properties of limits are also discussed, such as limits of sums and products. 4) Questions asking students to evaluate various limits from the information and examples provided in the document.
