3.2 Calculating Limits of Transcendental Functions and Indeterminate Forms

This document discusses calculating limits of transcendental functions and indeterminate forms. Transcendental functions are functions that are not algebraic, and include exponential, logarithmic, and trigonometric functions. Indeterminate forms are expressions involving two functions whose limit cannot be determined from the individual function limits alone. Examples are provided of evaluating limits of various transcendental functions using factoring or rationalizing methods to deal with indeterminate forms.

•Indeterminate
  form
- It is an expression involving two functions whose limit
cannot be determined solely from the limits of the
individual functions.
- To find the value of an indeterminate form (of type ), we
will use the factoring or rationalizing method.
