    The document discusses calculating limits of functions. It provides examples of using tables, graphs and algebraic methods to estimate or find limits. It includes 20 practice problems calculating various one-sided, two-sided and infinite limits. The final questions calculate the theoretical maximum efficiency of a power plant as the temperature of the cold reservoir approaches zero or the hot reservoir temperature.
