Limit Examples (Part 1), Limits, Differential Calculus

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

One example is finding the limit as x approaches -1 of (2x+2)/(x+1), solved by simplifying the expression and then explored intuitively by looking at the left and right-hand limits. The second example of finding the limit as x approaches 0 of 1/x is started here and continued in part two.
