Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Identify a vertical asymptote algebraically and confirm it on a graph

  • Evaluate left-hand, right-hand and two-sided limits as x approaches a value

  • Describe a limit whose values grow without bound

Teaching tips

  • The slides assume students already know limit and function notation, so a quick review of basic limits may help before this deck.

Skills covered

  • Evaluating one-sided limits — reading a table of x-values that approach 0 from the left and right

  • Finding vertical asymptotes — factoring and simplifying a function before checking the graph
