Question
p(x)
Suppose that p(x) and q(x) are polynomials. The expression lim
I-a g(1)
P(z)
= L means that as a gets very close to a -- without being a, the output
q(z)
gets very close to L. How to find L?
• If q(a) + 0, then L =
p(a)
That's simply the evaluation of the function at a.
q(a)
• If p(a) = 0 and g(a) = 0, then p(x) and g(z) have a common factor. Factor both polynomials and cancel the common factors out. Then L is the limit of the equivalent function.
• If p(a) + 0 and g(a) = 0, find the one-sided limits and compare them.
