a. Benny starts at the point corresponding to x = 6 and moves along the graph to the left, so he’s climbing uphill. How high does Benny think he’ll get as x gets closer to 3?

Consider the graph at right when answering the questions below.

b. Benny’s sister Bertha starts at the point corresponding to x = -3 and moves to the right. How high does Bertha think she’ll get as x gets closer to 3?

Consider the graph at right when answering the questions below.

a. Suppose Bertha also starts at the point where x = 5, but she moves to the left. What is she thinking as she gets closer to x = 2? The limit statement for Bertha’s scenario is

b. Did you notice the ‘+’ next to the 2 in part a? What do you think it means? This is called a one-sided limit. What do you think it would mean if there were a ‘–’ sign instead?

Limits and TablesWorking with one-sided limits

Today you will:1. Understand the necessary conditions for a limit to exist2. Practice finding limits 3. Predict limits from tables

« Intermission » CheckUse the given function f(x) shown. a. Benny Bug starts at the

point (2,2.5) and moves along the graph to the right. What does he think his height will be at x = 3?

This is the key to limits: what does Benny think his y-coordinate will be as x approaches a certain value?

« Intermission » Checkb. If Bertha starts at the point

(5,1) and moves to the left, what does she think her y-value will be as x approaches 3?

Write limit statements for Benny and Bertha Bug as they approach x = 3 from both sides.

c. Using the same function as above, complete the following limit statements:

Limit Definition

It is important to be able to tell when a limit exists and when it does not. What condition must be met for a limit to exist? Rephrase the definition of a limit from the Math Notes above into your notes.
