Activity 1.1
Evaluating Limits through Table of Values
(Send your activity in the folder that I shared to you)
(Deadline: September 5, 2020)
A. In Study Guide in your Quipper, answer “Check your Understanding,” pages 32 – 33, letters A – C.
a. For each item, choose the appropriate expression from the box

1. The limit of the function 𝑓(𝑥) as 𝑥 approaches 𝑐 is equal to 𝐿.

lim f ( x ) = 𝐿
x →c
2. The value of the function 𝑓(𝑥) decreases without bound as 𝑥 approaches 𝑐.
lim f ( x ) = −∞
x →c
3. The limit of the function 𝑓(𝑥) as 𝑥 approaches 𝑐 from the left is equal to 𝐿.
lim ¿=𝐿
−¿
x→ c f ( x ) ¿
4. The limit of the function 𝑓(𝑥) as 𝑥 approaches 𝑐 from the right is infinity
lim ¿=∞
+¿
x→ c f ( x ) ¿

B. Estimate x→lim
