IB Math HL (Class 17)
Lesson Title
Lesson for PS 5: Know Your Limits (4)
Overview
We will finish up our initial work with the limits of functions whose x-value is approaching some finite value and will turn our attention to dealing with limits of functions for x-values which are getting really, really big or really, really small.

Key Attitudes
Willingness to work as a group to help meet individual and group goals.
Key Ideas
A limit can be thought of as the value a function approaches.
Limits can be determined graphically, numerically, or algebraically.
When evaluating limits algebraically, first substitute the value and see what happens. If you get an indeterminate form, then you re-write it using algebra so that it is not an indeterminate form.
Key Skills
I can explain the meaning of a limit of a function.
I can determine the limit of a function using a graph, a table of values, or algebra.
I can write an English sentence about the distance between points on a number line to represent equations and inequalities involving absolute value.
