Calculus I for Programmers
Limits, by hand
Calculus I for Programmers
Work these on paper, then type the answer in the box. Answers are marked by agreement, not by spelling, so 1/2 and 0.5 are the same answer and so are 2x+3 and 3+2x. Where a limit does not settle on a number, write inf, -inf or dne.
The method for every one of these is the same. Try substituting. If you get a number, and the expression is built from polynomials, roots and quotients with a bottom that is not zero, that number is the answer. If you get zero over zero, rewrite until the offending factor cancels, then substitute.
