    This document discusses techniques for evaluating limits of functions as x approaches a value. It presents Theorem 1.1.14 which states that if a number a is in the domain of a function f, the limit of f(x) as x approaches a is equal to f(a). It then gives two examples of using this theorem to evaluate specific limits by directly substituting the limit value into the function. It also briefly mentions other techniques that will be discussed for evaluating limits.

    Theorem 1.1.14. Let f be a polynomial or rational function. If a 2 domf, then


    x!alim f(x) = f(a).
    Example 1.1.15. Evaluate x! lim 1(2x3 4x2 + 1).
    Solution. Using Theorem 1.1.14,
    x! lim 1(2x3 4x2 +
    1) = 2( 1)3 4( 1)2 +1= 5.
    6 CHAPTER 1. LIMITS AND CONTINUITY
    Example 1.1.16. Evaluate x!1lim ✓ 1 5x

    1+3x2 + 4x4◆4.
    Solution. By Theorem 1.1.14,

    x!1lim ✓ 1 5x

    1+3x2 + 4x4◆4
    =
    ✓ 1 5(1)

    1 + 3(1)2 + 4(1)4◆4

    = 116.
