    This document discusses methods for computing limits of functions, including: 1) Finding limits of polynomials by evaluating as the variable approaches the limit. 2) Factoring expressions to find limits where factors approach zero. 3) Evaluating nth roots of polynomials by applying laws of exponents. 4) Rationalizing expressions to find limits where the numerator and denominator approach zero. 5) Applying the squeeze theorem to verify limits are between bounding functions. 6) Finding one-sided limits of piecewise functions. Examples are provided to demonstrate each technique.
