 • Estimate a limit using a numerical or graphical
approach.

OBJECTIVES • Learn different ways that a limit can fail to exist.

• Study and use a formal definition of limit.

 CONTINUITY OF FUNCTIONS

1. Illustrate continuity of a function at a point;

2. Determine whether a function is continuous at a point or not;
3. Illustrate continuity of a function on an interval; and
4. Determine whether a function is continuous on an interval or not.
