Algebraic Approach to Limits

How can we evaluate limits algebraically?

Limits to a Value:

Ex 1:

2𝑥−6
lim
𝑥→−1 𝑥−1

Ex 2:

2𝑥+5
lim
𝑥→2 𝑥−2
Algebraic Approach to Limits
Ex 3a:

5𝑥 3 −5𝑥
lim
𝑥→0 𝑥 2 +𝑥

Ex 3b:

√𝑥+1−1
lim
𝑥→0 𝑥

Ex 3c:

𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑥
lim
𝑥→0 𝑥

Ex 4:

𝑥 2 + 3𝑥 − 4, 𝑥 < 2
Given 𝑓(𝑥) = { 4, 𝑥 = 2 , find lim 𝑓(𝑥).
𝑥→2
𝑥 3 − 𝑥, 𝑥 > 2
Algebraic Approach to Limits
Limits to Infinity:

Ex 5:

4𝑥 2 +50
lim
𝑥→∞ 𝑥 3 −85

Ex 6:

2𝑥 4
lim
𝑥→∞ 5𝑥 3 +1

Ex 7:

4𝑥 3 −5𝑥 2 −1
lim
𝑥→∞ 5𝑥 3 +7𝑥+2
Algebraic Approach to Limits

Sometimes it is necessary to logically think about the how the numerator and denominator compare as 𝑥
approaches ±∞.

Ex 8:

𝑒 𝑥 +4
lim
𝑥→∞ 𝑒 𝑥 −4

Ex 9:

𝑥
lim
𝑥→∞ 𝑒 𝑥

Ex 10:

𝑥𝑥
lim
𝑥→∞ 𝑒 𝑥

Ex 11:

𝑠𝑖𝑛𝑥
lim
𝑥→∞ 𝑥
Algebraic Approach to Limits
Ex 12a:

√1−𝑥
lim
𝑥→∞ 𝑥

Ex 12b:

√1−𝑥
lim
𝑥→−∞ 𝑥

Ex 13:

√𝑥 2 −3𝑥
lim
𝑥→∞ 2𝑥+1
