8) NAME____________________________

1. Find each limit. Include a table of values to illustrate your answer. Include two tables if you need to consider
a two sided limit.

A. lim(1 + x) = =
1x
B. lim
x →0 θ →0 θ

y2 + 2 1− t
C. lim = D. lim+ =

2. Find each of these limits. Use the limits to sketch a graph. Be sure to include any asymptotes, holes, or other
important characteristics.

important characteristics.
