Characteristics of Functions
Virginia SOL MA.CF.2
Determine the limit of a function if it exists using algebraic, numerical, and graphical methods.
What students need to be able to do
- Verify estimates about the limit of a function using graphing technology.
- Determine the limit of a function algebraically.
- Determine the limit of a function numerically by direct substitution.
- Estimate the limit of a function using a table of values.
- Determine the limit of a function from a given graph.
- Use proper limit notation, including when describing the end behavior of a function.
- Analyze the limit of a function as the variable approaches positive or negative infinity to describe end behavior.
