Example 1 ( ) 1 x 1 x 2 2 lim x sin lim x limsin x x x 0 0 0
Example 1 ( ) 1 x 1 x 2 2 lim x sin lim x limsin x x x 0 0 0
Example 1 ( ) 1 x 1 x 2 2 lim x sin lim x limsin x x x 0 0 0 We cannot apply the limit laws since 1 lim sin x 0 x DNE (2.1.1)

Analysis If ( ) and lim ( ) x ( ) g x ( ) in some deleted neighborhood of lim ( ) x a g x L = f x h x = a = f x h x L a then lim ( ) x a
Proof If ( ) and lim ( ) x ( ) g x ( ) in some deleted neighborhood of lim ( ) x a g x L = f x h x = a = f x h x L a then lim ( ) x a
Common Notation ( ) b a : , f
Limits at Infinities It can be shown that (most of the) limits laws remain valid for limits at infinities.
Example 2 Use the e-d definition to prove that 1 x = lim 1 x 1 2
Analysis Use the e-d definition to prove that 1 x = lim 1 x 1 2
Proof Use the e-d definition to prove that 1 x = lim 1 x 1 2
Infinite Limits y The left-hand limit DNE Notation: y=f(x) = lim x ( ) f x a is not a number x a
