In this module you will use graphical, numerical and symbolic methods to investigate limits. You will begin by finding specific tolerances for a function and then move to the general definition of the limit of a function.

Lesson Index:

6.1 - Tolerances

6.2 - Definition of Limit

6.3 - Limits Graphically, Numerically, and Algebraically

After completing this module, you should be able to do the following:

• Use the Intersect and Trace features of the TI-83
• Find the tolerance for x that produces a given tolerance for y in a function
• Understand the definition of the limit of a function
• Find and describe limits symbolically, graphically and numerically
