Finding limits numerically

The Finding limits numerically exercise in under the Differential Calculus Math Mission.

Problems
In this exercise, you should find limits by looking at tables. It helps in basic understanding of Limits.

Strategies
Limits are the core tool that we build upon for calculus. Many times, a function can be undefined at a point, but we can think about what the function "approaches" as it gets closer and closer to that point (this is the "limit"). Other times, the function may be defined at a point, but it may approach a different limit. There are many, many times where the function value is the same as the limit at a point. Either way, this is a powerful tool as we start thinking about slope of a tangent line to a curve. If you have a decent background in algebra (graphing and functions in particular), you'll hopefully enjoy this tutorial! -Khan Academy
