Keep the original function visible

These worksheets preserve exact values and original-domain restrictions while separating direct continuity from removable-discontinuity reasoning.

Learning objective

What this activity builds

Use continuity and exact substitution to evaluate finite limits.

Worked example

Find lim x→2 of (x²+1).

Direct substitution gives 2²+1=5.

Check that the original expression is defined at the point, then substitute exactly.

Teaching notes

Make the practice count

  • Keep fractions, radicals, pi and powers of e exact.
  • Distinguish the original function from its continuous extension.
  • Use radians for every trigonometric expression.
