1.example Limits and Continuity

The document contains examples of calculating one-sided and two-sided limits of various functions as the input values approach numbers or infinity. It includes limits of polynomial, rational, radical, piecewise, absolute value, and continuous functions. Examples are provided for determining if limits exist or if functions are continuous at given points.
