thedixitjain Limits
When to Use
Use this skill when working on limits problems in real analysis.
Decision Tree
Direct Substitution
- Try plugging in the value directly
- If you get a determinate form, that's the answer
Indeterminate Form? (0/0, inf/inf)
- Try algebraic manipulation (factor, rationalize)
- Try L'Hopital's rule:
sympy_compute.py diffon numerator/denominator
Squeeze Theorem
- If bounded: find g(x) <= f(x) <= h(x) where lim g = lim h
- Verify bounds with
z3_solve.py prove
Epsilon-Delta Proof
- For rigorous proof: set up |f(x) - L| < epsilon
- Find delta in terms of epsilon
- Verify with
math_scratchpad.py verify
