Quick Recap — Evaluating Limits & One-sided Limits

  • 00\tfrac00 forms: factor and cancel, or rationalise, or use standard limits/expansions.
  • x→∞x\to\infty rational functions: compare the degrees of numerator and denominator.
  • Left/right limits: lim⁡x→a−\displaystyle\lim_{x\to a^-} and lim⁡x→a+\displaystyle\lim_{x\to a^+}; a jump discontinuity has unequal one-sided limits.
  • Sandwich (squeeze) theorem: if g≤f≤hg\le f\le h and g,h→Lg,h\to L, then f→Lf\to L.
