Specific Expectations
By the end of the course, students will…
- recognize, through investigation with or without technology, graphical and numerical examples of limits, and explain the reasoning involved (e.g., the value of a function approaching an asymptote, the value of the ratio of successive terms in the Fibonacci sequence)
Learning Goals
By the end of the lesson, students will…
- Understand that substitution does not always work in finding a limit and may result in an indeterminate form (0/0)
- Rationalize the numerator when it is necessary to find the limit
- Break apart a absolute value expression into cases when evaluating a limit that involves an absolute value expression
Success Criteria
I can…
- Evaluate limits that involve the use of factoring, rationalizing, one-sided limit cases, and changing the variable
Check your understanding by completing the following exercises. Some of the questions involve concepts from previous lessons on limits, so make sure to review them if you’ve forgotten some of the concepts.
