Chapter 2 Review

Chapter 2 is finished. It is important that you understand the main concepts of this chapter as they will continue on throughout the course.

You should know...
1. How to find a secant line (average value), tangent line (instantaneous value) and normal line for any polynomial, trigonometric, or rational function.
2. A function is continuous at a point , a, iff the limit exists and approaches the same value as f(a).
3. Vertical asymptotes occur in rational functions when the denominator is zero.
4. Horizontal asymptotes occur at the value the infinite limits approach.
5. All the rules for limits (sum, difference, product, etc.)
6. The limit exists at a point iff the left hand limit matches the right hand limit.
7. How to find limits graphically using a tracing method with your pencil.
8. The Sandwich Theorem
9. How to find one-sided limits.
10. Types of discontinuities.
11. The Intermediate Value Theorem (IVT)

If you know all of the above skills, you are ready for your test. Good luck.
