Ck 12: Evaluate Limits Using Substitution
Finding limits for the vast majority of points for a given function is as simple as substituting the number that x approaches into the function.
Texas Instruments
Texas Instruments: Techniques for Evaluating Limits
Students are given the techniques for evaluating limits with and without using a graphing calculator. Both limits as x approaches a and as x approaches +/- infinity are given.
Texas Instruments
Texas Instruments: Functions, Graphs, and Limits
In this activity, students create graphs and tables of values for functions. They can use this graphical and numerical information to explore limits. Students can also evaluate limits directly.
