Project 1: Limits

Instructions

Use Winplot and Google Docs to create a document with four problems on it. Make sure you use the equation feature of Google Docs to properly format the mathematical content.

Problem 1: Finding Limits from the Graph

This is similar to problems 1.3.3-5. Create a graph and then ask the reader to find limits based off the graph.

Problem 2: Finding a Graph with the Indicated Limits

This is similar to problems 1.3.7-10. Create a problem with the indicated limits. Then, in the answer key, provide a graph that would satisfy the conditions (note that there are many possible answers).

Problem 3: Combinations of Functions

This is similar to problem 1.4.2. Create two graphs, one of the function f and one of the function g. Then ask questions involving limits of combinations of the functions that can be answered from the graphs.

Problem 4: Infinite Limits

This is similar to problems 1.6.3-8 and to problem 2 on this project. The difference is that now the limits involve infinity. Create a problem with the indicated limits. Then, in the answer key, provide a graph that would satisfy the conditions (note that there are many possible answers).

Notes
