Week2 L4 5 Limits of Transcendental Functions

1. The document discusses limits of transcendental functions such as exponential, logarithmic, and trigonometric functions. Various special limits are evaluated using tables of values and graphs. 2. Common limits such as limits of exponential functions with base greater than 1 approaching positive infinity being infinity and limits of logarithmic functions with base greater than 1 approaching zero being negative infinity are examined. 3. The document also evaluates special limits such as limits of sine and cosine functions as the input approaches zero.

I can…

1. evaluate the limit of transcendental


functions through graph and table of values
2. illustrate limit of special limits through table
of values
3. appreciate the use of visualization
(graphing) in evaluating limits

Lesson 4: Limits of Exponential, Logarithmic and
Trigonometric Functions
The limits of exponential functions can be computed by
using table of values and graphs.
