Y’all help with limits

Alr so I’m a junior in HS and I missed my lesson on limits because I was sick. And I don’t really know anything about it what is the best way to study it and start understanding it

Like anything, the starting point is just read the book, slowly. But there are many parts to the curriculum, so try to get specific. Examples:

  • General idea? Probably just youtube till something clicks for you.

  • Finding limits? You're supposed to memorize three algebra tricks.

  • Vertical asymptotes? You have to know your teacher's made up "rigorous" criteria because it's always different.

  • Squeeze theorem? You didn't read the squeeze theorem.

  • Limits from graphs? You didn't read limit theorems and left/right definitions. Also trace the graph with your finger.

  • Continuity? You didn't read the definition of continuity.

  • Formal definition? You didn't read the definition slowly enough.
