You’ll learn

  • Tell convergent, divergent and continuous functions apart, and read lim notation
  • Evaluate limits as x → a by factorising, cancelling the 0/0 factor and subbing in
  • Evaluate limits as n → ∞ by dividing every term by the highest power of n
  • Apply the sum, product, quotient and root limit properties (x → a constant only)
