What does “Limit Laws for Sums” mean?Limit Laws
Combining existing finite limits through addition and constant multiplication.
What important condition applies to limit laws for sums?Limit Laws
Existence assumptions matter; a nonexistent component limit cannot be substituted blindly.
What does “Limit Laws for Quotients” mean?Limit Laws
Evaluating a quotient limit when the limiting denominator is nonzero.
What important condition applies to limit laws for quotients?Limit Laws
Do not apply the quotient law with a zero denominator limit.
What does “Left-Hand Limits” mean?One-Sided Limits
The output approached from inputs smaller than the target.
What important condition applies to left-hand limits?One-Sided Limits
Approach direction chooses the neighboring rule.
What does “Right-Hand Limits” mean?One-Sided Limits
The output approached from inputs larger than the target.
What important condition applies to right-hand limits?One-Sided Limits
A right-hand limit alone does not establish a two-sided limit.
What does “Limits at Infinity” mean?Infinite Limits and Asymptotes
The limiting output trend as input magnitude grows without bound.
What important condition applies to limits at infinity?Infinite Limits and Asymptotes
A horizontal asymptote describes end behavior and may be crossed.
What does “Vertical Asymptotes” mean?Infinite Limits and Asymptotes
An input line approached while function values grow unbounded on at least one side.
What important condition applies to vertical asymptotes?Infinite Limits and Asymptotes
Not every zero denominator produces a vertical asymptote.
