3. Rewriting Limits Because limits only depend on values that lead up to x, we can rewrite functions and not affect the limit

4. Indeterminate forms A function f(x) has an indeterminate form at x = c if f(c) yields one of the following:

5. Finding a Limit by Factoring One method to evaluate limits is to eliminate factors in the denominator. Ex:

6. EX 2 Evaluate

7. Ex 2b We can also factor trigonometric limits

8. Ex 3 We can rewrite by multiplying by the conjugate

9. Ex 4 Evaluate

10. Combining Fractions We can add two fractions with undefined values to help cancel
