The Limit Methods tutor will walk you through each step needed to evaluate a limit, including all of the limit laws learned in class. The tutor will open in a new interactive window and will output all steps in your Maple worksheet once the window is closed.
Begin by typing out the function, the variable name, and the value that you want the variable to approach. When typing out the function in the tutor, you will not have access to the palettes toolbar in Maple, so you will need to type out commands such as sqrt() for square roots. You must also include the symbol * for multiplication. The direction can be specified in the drop down menu to the right of the variable information.
Once you have completed these steps, hit Start to see the limit in the output preview. You can click on individual limit laws to see whether they apply to the given limit.
Once again, you will need to type out commands such as sqrt() for square roots and include * for multiplication. In this case, we may use exponents for the square root. For a limit as \(x \rightarrow \infty\) or \(x \rightarrow -\infty\text{,}\) Maple recognizes the word infinity.
