A common method of finding limits is using a table with columns. Taking values from the left and values from the right.
( From the left: negative side or left side of number line towards c value // From the right: positive side or right side of
number line towards c value )

Here are some examples:


In this case, we write DNE which means it does not exist.

The Limit of a Function at c versus the Value of the Function at c

For this topic, it simply states that the tables are necessary to find the correct answer. Although substituting c can work
for most equations when finding the limit of a function, it does not work everytime. In example 1-2 it shows when it
does. And in example 3-4 is when it doesn’t.

HOWEVER! There are cases where the limit of a function cannot be found.
Such as this:
Limits of Polynomial, Rational, and Radical Functions

For this topic, it's just applying the things we know about limits to different functions.
Keep in mind that using the table is still a better way of accurately finding the limit of a function, however the
video does provide good insight on how to solve these equations.

Same case as the last topic, but I shall provide the specific formulas for these functions.
